2	''TRON Maze-A-Tron'' is an Platform/{{Intellivision}} game published by [[Creator/{{Mattel}} Mattel Electronics]], which is based on [[Creator/{{Disney}} Walt Disney's]] 1982 movie ''Film/{{TRON}}''.
3
4	In the game, you play as Flynn, who is trapped inside the computer system of the Master Control Program. There are two phases. In the first, the player must guide Flynn to the Memory Chips and blank out each one by setting the numbers to zero, while avoiding or disabling Recognizers along the way. In the second phase, the player must match pairs of numbers that are scrolling up the screen while blocking eye beam blasts from the MCP.
5	-----
6	!!This game provides examples of
7	* ArtificialStupidity: The Recognizers pay no attention to any Force Field in their path, despite that Force Fields are dangerous to them, too.
8	* AutoScrollingLevel: The maze constantly scrolls in one direction, with the player changing directions whenever they touch a Flip-Flop chip. Being scrolled off the screen doesn't cause you to lose a life, but it does put you back at the level's starting point.
9	* CoversAlwaysLie: Tron is depicted on the game box (shown above), but he never appears or is even mentioned in the game itself.
10	* DifficultyLevels: Four.
11	* EndlessGame: The two phases of the game endlessly repeat until the player runs out of lives.
12	* EyeBeams: The MCP fires them at the player in the second part of the game.
13	* InsideAComputerSystem: ''[[LiteralMetaphor Quite literally]]'' in the first phase, as the player runs around inside a maze that resembles the circuit board of a computer.
14	* MazeGame: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pretty obvious from the title]].
15	* OneHitKill: Touching a Recognizer or a Force Field without your shield on causes instant death.
16	* RandomTransportation: The I/O Transport chips transport the player to a random part of the computer system.
17	* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Flynn is the main character of the game, while Tron himself [[TheGhost doesn't even appear]].
18	* ScoringPoints: For completing the first part of the game, and also for matching the right pair of numbers in the second part.
19	* ThreeQuartersView: The first part of the game.
