An interesting side-scroller puts you in the role of Flynn from the movie Tron.

Unlike some other Intellivision review sites, I think Tron Maze‑A‑Tron
is a solid game. It is an exploration side-scroller
game–one of the earlier ones for the platform, I think. It's got a pretty
good sized world, and it has a lot of really interesting elements. It's
difficult, making it hard to reach the second phase of the game very often.
But the sound effects are great and the various circuit components
are well-done.
As the character Flynn from the Disney film Tron, you must navigate
a dangerous and hostile electronic world and eventually confront the Master
Control Program (MCP). Unlike the movie, and sticking to grand video game
tradition (of the day), you cannot win, of course. It just keeps getting more
and more difficult until you either die or quit. Still, I find the layout and
graphics quite pleasing, the sound great, and the game overall interesting and
unique enough to rate it well.

This manual also appears in some PlayCable sets—no idea if it was ever actually part of the program; if so, why this and not Deadly Discs? |

Title screen for Tron Maze-A-Tron. |
|
Visually appealing, this game is perhaps a bit too hard-core electronics oriented for many to appreciate. One thing bugs me... Those Recognizers sure seem small... |
|
This phase is perhaps more fun to play, as it's more action-oriented than the 'journey' phase. The sound effects are good—especially for your shield. |
