Do you miss last-gen graphics? Or, better said, first-gen graphics? Do you still think that the first Mario game looks great, Another World is a feast for the eye and Dune 2 owns? Well, if you do and you also own an Xbox 360 console, your desire to bring back the sweet memories will become reality since Disney Interactive has announced Discs of Tron for Xbox Live Arcade.

This Tron dude was, at first, a sci-fi movie hero that entered a video game and had to battle for survival (your parents probably know more about this one). As strange as it might seem, this movie was later turned into a video game about a man that enters a video game in a movie and... OK, I'm lost, but it doesn't matter. The fact is that it was a classic arcade style game where you - Tron, had to fight against Sark while trying to keep his balance on some futuristic discs. The game will now receive a sequel, Discs of Tron that has the same plot line, almost the same graphics and such, but it works on Xbox 360s. Oh, yeah!

"Discs of Tron is considered an arcade classic as it mesmerized fans who wanted an entertaining and challenging experience derived from the innovative film," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "The game's release on Xbox LIVE Arcade enables multiple generations to play the addictive game in both its original form from 25 years ago and an enhanced mode with upgraded graphics and sound."

Discs of Tron includes, of course, multiplayer modes like Classic Versus (highest score wins), Speed Versus (player to reach determined score first wins), Co-op (two players' scores combined for leader board results) and Deadly Disc Versus (players play simultaneously and power-ups help one player or hinder another). The single player "campaign" will allow you to fight against Sark and try to knock him off his platforms, while taking care for you not to fall off yours. Should be fun, so get ready, since the game will be released on the 13th of February.
