Does anyone know where I can find a Tron arcade game to play in the Chicago area? I know about MAME, but it's not the same without the stick, dial, etc. I watched the movie the other night and I must play the game.

did you call gameworks? The one here in Seattle has a Tron machine in their classics zone. Or at least they did last time I went by, it's worth asking.

Best answer: Arcadelocations.com doesn't list anything in Illinois. How about a trip to Lake Geneva?

Dennis Place for Games may have it, it is right next to the Belmont stop. Or at least, someone there may have an idea.

I have been to Dave and Busters and I don't remember them having it, I'll call. I am sure it will be an interesting phone call. Tron, HUH, TRon, HUH

(Tangential, sorry, but if you have a PC and haven't played the sadly-overlooked Tron2.0 FPS, you should. It's really good, and great-looking considering it's age.)

Seconding STWC's recommendation.

Tron 2.0 was excellent, and the treatment of the light cycles was very well done as well.

Armagetron might be a good fix until you find the original.

Thirding Tron 2.0. What a great game.

I'm pretty sure the dave and buster's downtown doesnt have it. I wouldnt be surprised if it only exists in some old Chucky Cheese or in someone's basement. There's a company called Western Automatic Music on the north side that may rent it or know who has it.
