Raging 80′s Nostalgia

July 18, 2007

So I’ve been trying out Tron 2.0 for the second time.  First time around, I didn’t make it past what I believe to be the training level.

This time, I’ve managed to get a bit further, and the atmosphere is, like, 3 kinds of awesome.  Being in a huge red vector tower with Recognizers zipping past the window?  Light Cycles on the Game Grid?  Yes, please, may I have another serving?

On the other hand, I’m not doing terribly well.  Which is to say, I’ve yet to go past a health recharge station and say “oh, I don’t need that, I’m fine” because I’m rarely fine – I’m generally quite banged up and I’m having to make liberal use of quicksave and quickload, which, while “run into a room!  get killed!  quickload! do it again knowing where the ICPs will be!” works,  it’s pretty lame.

Turns out there’s a patch that fixes a bunch of bugs and makes the game easier.  I think the exact phrase I heard that described what it did to the enemy AI was “Brain-dead” – and that’s exactly what I’m looking for.  Sadly, it also means I need to start from the beginning because old save games aren’t compatible, and if it’s NOT actually any easier, well, the joke will be on me.
