Animated Tron Spoof Coming to UPN

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the remakes-of-reboot dept.

Gudlyf writes "Sci Fi Wire is reporting that executive producers of 'That 70's Show,' Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach, are doing a CGI-animated midseason replacement show for UPN called 'Game Over,' which is best described as a sitcom spoofing 'Tron.' The show centers on the Smashenburns, an ordinary suburban family who live in an alternate video-game universe inhabited by action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters. Patrick Warburton and Marisa Tomei will be voicing the husband Rip and wife Raquel respectively."

  1. The Very Best Tron 3D Lightcycle Game by moroderzone · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    IMHO This is the very best 3d lightcycle game for the following reasons:

    *) The closer you get to a "Trail" of another bike the faster your lightcycle accelerates.
    *) Bike trials have no thickness so you can get arbitrarily close to a trial without hitting it.
    *) Splitscreen multiplayer (or lan)

    plus other reasons
    *) Computer AI bots are named after buggy computer applications!
    *) Linux Friendly/open source
    *) Interesting graphics
