Adventures of Tron is a platform video game produced by Mattel in 1982 for the Atari 2600.[1] It is based on the Disney film Tron.[2] The game was originally intended to be a port of the Intellivision video game Tron: Maze-A-Tron, but it became an original title as development progressed. An Intellivision version of Adventures of Tron was also planned, but it was ultimately cancelled and never saw an official release.[3] Following the loss of the Tron license, the game was re-released as Adventures on GX-12.[4]
