neotokeo2001 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) A little something that has been a long time coming. Finally the first cartridge. Thanks Al and Tony. WHO IS TRONMAN?? The Real Tronman is Jay Maynard. He is a fan of the movie Tron and he set out to make a better TRON costume. "I saw lots of TRON costumes on the net, and wasn't satisfied with any of them. I decided that I could do better." The costume was entered into a TRON Masquerade contest. "The universal reaction was "COOL!". I spoke for a few moments about how I wasn't TRON, but a simple payroll withholding calculation program that had gotten overweight by changes in the laws. I won an award for workmanship - and the judges said, afterward, that it wasn't even close." Jay has gone on to become a minor celebrity due to his TRON costume. He has appeared in several magazines and has also appeared on TV Talk Shows. He is well known now as THE TRON GUY. This is a game based on that overweight payroll program. THIS IS.....TRONMAN!!!

Mindfield Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I think for the most part it wasn't exactly his costume that gained him fame on the net, but rather a certain attribute of it in one of his pictures ... like the hoof of a certain dromedary...

moycon Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Tronman is AWESOME! Will this be available for anyone to purchase or is it a one shot? Looks nice....Real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 If this is actually going to be sold put me down for one, I love anything Tron related...not too mention that the blue cart with the LED looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I love the LED light inside the cartridge. But I was wondering..... would it be possible to get a sticker set to put on the interior of the cart, that you could make look like circuitry (basically make it look "Tron-like") so that the cart would be more Tron looking when lit from the inside like those carts are?

I don't actualy put the carts together, Albert made this one. This cart reminds me of the TRON arcade games joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice....Real nice. 895973[/snapback] Right now it's going to be a one-shot with only 10-15 carts. Half of those are going to people who helped out on TRONMAN in the past.

pinball22 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 You didn't use that pic?!? It can't be Tronman without the pic showing off his little Tronman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...some of those Tron citizens wore tunics that in this case might lead to a little less visual buffer overflow, if you know what I mean.

moycon Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Heh, I was looking for that picture but couldn't find it. I had remembered that Tronman, had in fact made a disc that attached to his back when I was reading about him back when he was a "big star" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keilbaca Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Is there any way that I can reserve a cartridge? I'd really like that cart, as a big fan of Adventures of TRON and well tron in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuppicide Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 When I originally read this topic I thought it was all a joke. I thought to myself those were some nice Photoshopped pictures, but it appears it's all real. The LED Looks awesome. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
