As the title succinctly implies, Discs of Tron is primarily concerned with opponents hurling Tron discs at each other, very often while standing on discs within Tron. The disc-less download, which sports enhanced graphics and "CD-quality sound," will require you to discard 400 of your MS Points ($5).

Commanders is actually kinda like Advanced Wars so it's a nice game overall but Discs of Ton has not aged well at all. I know I wouldn't spend any money on it.

What happened to the pic of the old guy in a tron costume reliving "the days"?

Might just be the bad coffee talking, but the guy on the banner for COMMANDERS looks like a "happier" Cid Highwind... o_o;

Did anyone else see this picture and automatically think "Days of Ruin rip-off"?

To which I say.. yay for playing an AW clone for 20 dollars cheaper and in HD.

You realize this was a PC genre and even tabletop gaming genre long before Nintendo did it, right? No? Oh well, there goes my point.
Now if you don't mind, I'm off to accuse Pontiac of stealing their "wheel" invention from Ford...

Does anyone else remember the Discs of Tron arcade machine? That bitch was the only reason I went to the local movie theater as a kid.
sp @ Feb 11th 2008 11:40PM

So "retro-futuristic", does that mean contemporary?
FidliousWong @ Feb 11th 2008 5:10PM
I think it means more along the lines of "Hey guys, check it out! Maya has a Smooth function! Our boxes can now be more interesting!"
Also, they robot soldiers look like Hi-Goggs

Lightweight turn-based strategy? I'd buy that for 800 MS points.

the big booth discs of tron is #1 in many many odes to arcade cabinet lists - and deserves it.
Sinistar phat gets my nod for second and the two player firetruck game gets my third

Disc of Tron is freaking awesome. Can't wait to download it.

Why oh why don't we have a 3d advance wars on the Wii???
Battalion Wars is fun and all, but why do we only get a strategic advance wars on the Xbox, instead of the Wii?
(where the pointer would work better than an analogue stick. where are the Wii RTS games???)
