Tron is a 1982 action video game developed and published by Bally Midway for arcades, based on the Disney film of the same name. The lead programmer was Bill Adams with Earl Vickers programming the music.
The game was a major success, with approximately 10,000 arcade cabinets sold, and was awarded "Coin-Operated Game of the Year" by Electronic Games. A number of other licensed Tron games were released for home systems, but were based directly on elements of the film and not the arcade game. In 1983, Tron was followed by Discs of Tron, an arcade sequel which was not as successful.
