But the idea of a darker world of TRON, appeals to me, but i guess i had to settle with TRON 2.

> "Rise Of The Virals" was a fantastic, but much darker storyline from the

> another party. It involved updating the ENCOM universe to a networked system
> (thanks to the Internet), but also created a darker world -- full of programs
> abandoned as buggy systems (or "mutants") and abused by corrupt users as viral
> systems. Furthermore, the story included the death of Flynn and presented
> questions about the digital life of programs lasting beyond the mortality of
> their creators -- the users.

> "Legacy" soundtrack as well. In any case, since the story of "Rise Of The
> Virals" takes place between the first "Tron" film and the upcoming "Tron 2:
> Legacy", I can't think of a better title for this material other than "Tron
> 1.5". I hope you enjoy the music these artists have put such great work into.
