It's always a good time for Tron! It was my pleasure to talk with Jason Tselentis for his podcast, Designers On Film, and we entered The Grid to talk about this visually rich film universe. I think it's worth a listen! designersonfilm.com/podcast/tron-1…

The new artwork illustrated for the Pac-Man edition Atari 2600+ and the Pac-Man: Double Feature cartridge is done by none other than Hiro Kimura, who created the art for Atari's original versions of Pac-Man back in the 1980s.
