Dicks of Tron


Dicks of Tron

In 1984, emboldened by its move to create a more adult branch of its movie division (Touchstone Pictures), The Walt Disney Company decided to re-license to Bally Midway another version of the popular arcade game Discs of Tron.

Planned as an expansion of the first game, the lengthy Dicks of Tron would cost $1 to play and would be marketed to a highly targeted audience: gay men in large cities. It would have existed under the new brand Bone-Up Games.

Set in the then-bustling world of ultra-low-speed modem sex chat, Dicks of Tron was to star Chuff Britches and ahead-of-his-time Digital Penny-Tration as the lead characters on what was to be a hybrid-laser-disk arcade game with a custom-built soft-rubber joystick.

When word leaked that the game was in development, Disney received a very persuasive letter from Focus on the Family, causing the company to reconsider and to shelve the project. Only a few pieces of concept art and a four-paragraph script still exist from Dicks.
