As you can probably tell. I'm having fun with Tron 2.0 here are a couple of more screenshots from the game:

The game of course looks better in motion than seeing the screenshots and it could use some antialiasing but I figured I would put some anyway.

It makes me feel like watching the movie again which I haven't watched in a while I think I might do that tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I did get through the Light cycles portion of the game and it was pretty cool because they had the floor shiny and with things like that it looked nicer than the movie. Which brings me to an interesting point. Back in '82 they had to use huge Cray supercomputers to render the frames of animation individually not in real time more like 1 frame a day. Then they had to have people touch them up afterwards by hand. But now even a small computer like mine can do in real time things that are equal or better to what they did.

Edit: I found some more special effects settings to turn on so the game looks a bit better. This is in a later level where you are inside your own personal computer and there is the program who retrieves e-mail for you:

WIndowblinds 5 is looking good. That skin looks like a combination of brushed metal and aero glass and it's called "Aura". I really like how with 32-bit support in the skins like how WB5 has you can have independently transparent elements. They say WB5 is going into beta soon and I would like to try it out even if just on my old PC.

This week the two games I have been having the most fun with are Shrek 2 and Tron 2.0. I have the Mac versions of both games installed on my Mac Mini and they both run great at full detail at 1024x768.

Tron 2.0 is interesting. One reason why it is interesting is that in some ways it looks better or equal to the original 80's movie. It is fun for me after having watched that movie for a hundred times to play through a new story that takes place in it's universe and I can explore and play with the light cycles and things like that.

Shrek 2 is pretty fun but it can get a bit annoying when they are saying the same things over and over.
