The book was better
Generic and basic versions of other games bundled in a Tron skin with a mix of visuals. I'm sure it was popular because It let people play the light cycle game, which would just be another clone of Blockade without the franchise makeup.
It's like Snake but battle mode
4 stars based largely on the sentimentality of my youth, plus the ease of entry and high replayability. 1 star added because it's awesome.
The light cycle level reigns supreme, and the random nature of finding it through the blind game selection was frustratingly fun.
I actually found it in an arcade in Michigan in 2023 and, after escaping a light cycle jam with a single block of an opening available, to the audible amazement of my son, I've never felt more like a "user" in my life!

Somehow this predicted AAA games going by image factor and flexibility of small gameplay ideas into separate sections to add variety which is, interesting but absolutely about as shallow and thin as those donut discs they use in the movie
