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.
I stand corrected. I forgot Flynn's line about him creating the games on his own time after work hours. He was using ENCOMs system to program his games as a sidebar. So I'd agree, Dillinger stole Flynn's game programs out of the system before Kevin could present them.
As for 5 games not being a "slew" — well, that's Kevin's words, not mine.

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.
If the Tron game wasn't invented until 3 years later in the ARG, I can only assume that's why they call it an *Alternate* Reality Game. Disney wasn't going to wait that long to release their game to us.

Has anyone tweeted the answer? I don't remember the code, but the password at least is master, I always thought that was foreboding when I was younger.

I'm pretty sure that the trivia questions from @TronLegacy have nothing to do with the ARG. The one that's sitting there all silent, secured and ominous like is the one I'm keeping my eye on: @flynn_lives

Is there a point to answering these?? Other than flexing your TRON knowledge?

I and probably other millions of timekilling users of Twitter probably collectively ask themselves this basic question when using the site. I guess....trivia...is...fun...on Twitter?!?
