There was a computer game that was sort of a sequel to the movie too
(at least that's what they billed it as when it came out) -- Tron 2.0.

It was actually pretty good -- standard FPS fare, yes, but well done.

I wonder if they're adapting the game into a movie now?  The story was
somewhere between mediocre and good, and certainly better than most of
the games that Uwe Boll makes into movies.

What's sort of telling is that the game, rendered in real time, had
significantly better graphics than the original movie.

I'm surprised it took so long.  Tron struck me as having a whole lot
more potential than was ever actually used.
