Tron

I'm sure most of you haven't heard of Tron before. For the rest of you who have seen and loved Tron as a child of the 80's, here's the Light Cycle.

The Light Cycle you see here is one of only two in existence. It was put up on display by Disney at Comic-Con behind a replica storefront of Kevin Flynn's Arcade.

Wiki says,

Tron is a 1982 science fiction film by Disney. It stars Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn (and his program counterpart inside the electronic world, Clu), Bruce Boxleitner as Tron and his User Alan Bradley, Cindy Morgan as Yori and Dr. Lora Baines, and Dan Shor as Ram. David Warner plays all three main antagonists: the program Sark, his User Ed Dillinger, and the voice of the Master Control Program. It was written and directed by Steven Lisberger. Tron has a distinctive visual style, as it was one of the first films from a major studio to use computer graphics extensively.

the only thing i remembered about it was two light cycles were racing one another, one blue and the other red. they leave a trail of light behind and they were supposed to enclosed their opponent with the trailing light. i think the red one lost n hit the wall of light and went boom.

haha, when i was small, i kind of live in a kampung, a chinese kampung. my parents would leave for work and i'll be left wit my grandma at home. it was then i would sneak out n roll wit my kampung boys/girls. i only had doraemon when i was a lil bigger around 11/12..
