Re: Tron Legacy on Twitter!

[chuwawa]

search it (the flynn lives tweet) in google's cache... found out that it was a fan's account, this is the cache: Google cache link

then as per you can see right now at that address, ownership of the tweet page might have changed recently... hence the different layout and style of writing...

Or it could just be that nobody found anything at @flynn_lives because it didn't exist there until recently. It's easy enough to change your twitter username, so an old account can suddenly appear at a new address.

New Tweet: Q: #Flynn invented some of #Encom's best-selling games. What were they called? #tron

Space Paranoids, Vice Squad, Matrix Blaster & Light Cycles. I obviously need to watch the movie again.

Kevin's rant rattles off several names, and he refers to 'a whole slew' of games. He also says that all of the games he designed were stolen by Dillinger and presented to Encom as his own work, with the very same names. The implication at least is that every game Encom released was originally designed by Kevin Flynn.

Mind you, this is all from memory. I shall review the DVD later if I need to amend any of the information presented here.

You're referring to this scene (bold mine):

[Euchre]

You are making quite a lot of assumptions from that dialog. What I see is that Kevin mentions 3 titles and speaks of a 'slew', which I wouldn't call 5 a 'slew'. Dillinger presented 5 games initially, we know this. We don't know for sure if or when he presented them with more. I'll have to review, but I don't recall a mention of how long before the events of the film the theft of the games transpired. Something that I do recall being implied was that Encom hadn't really been a game software company before Dillinger presented Kevin's games as his own. One definite implication was that Kevin didn't necessarily intend to share his games with Encom. Of course back then, companies didn't necessarily have the clauses they do now about anything you create during work time and/or using the resources or other basis of company property being the property of the company.

What I find interesting about this 'quiz' is that Light Cycles was being played at the start of the film, as if it were its own game. According to the information presented in this ARG, the game Tron was not written until after the events of the film. In the real world, the game Tron is where we find the Light Cycles game - not as a stand alone. In the film's world, we don't see Discs of Tron, which was a stand alone real world game.
