A trippy movie was released in 1982 under the name of Tron. It was one of the first movies with large scale computer generated graphics which was quite an accomplishment back then.

Since 1982 the Tron front has been rather quiet except for the creation of the Tron game untill now.
A rabbit hole has opened up in the void that some of the most hardcore fans have discovered.
SPOILER ALERT - DO NOT GO PAST THIS POINT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW
The following is a chronology of the Tron Alternate Reality Game called Flynn Lives. What you see here is not complete. However, it will keep changing as more clues are found.

Two pictures, a .gif and a .jpeg, are loaded onto a site called comingsoon.net. The .jpeg was of a Tron game token and the .gif was scrolling html code. It is presumed that the coin was sent to several people around the country along with a flashdrive that contained the .gif. A person registered to the unfiction forums named Wireless found this on comingsoon.net and decoded it by 03:36:00 PM. The message read FlynnLives.com. FlynnLives.com is the rabbit hole. It has also been hinted that HomeOfTron.com is also an active site.

At the bottom FlynnLives. com there is a bouncing spider. A link is encoded into this spyder that leads to a clock that has a countdown timer that will play out on 7.23.09 late in the evening.

I believe that there are some clues in the below text found on Flynn Lives. However, I haven't found any leads
HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR MOVEMENT
1989 -- Kevin Flynn alleged to "disappear." Initial facts raise many questions. Many of us were suspicious.
1990 -- Sightings of Kevin Flynn by ordinary citizens, including high-credibility "Level 3" sightings of Flynn in NYC's Central Park during a Shakespeare Festival, on the fringes of a San Francisco street fair, and the notorious "Elvira" sighting of Kevin Flynn at Halloween celebrations in West Hollywood, California. Unfortunately, these initial sightings display certain characteristics true to this day -- nothing has been confirmed and photographic evidence has been lacking.
1992 -- Sightings continue. Several of us make contact thru Usenet and begin correspondence.
1994 -- First Flynn Lives! meet-up in Dayton, Ohio. We resolve to continue our efforts to find out the facts behind the mysterious disappearance.
1998 -- Letter from Kevin Flynn to a founding member of the group gains media attention, then debunked. Founding member (now ex-member) checks into a mental hospital for observations.
2001 -- A $5,000 award is offered to anybody who can prove Kevin Flynn is alive. By December 31st, alas, nobody had satisfied our jury and the money was spent on a great party for all of the "Troniacs" we know and love!
2002 - 2005 An era of low visibility for our group. Sightings drop off, and interest seems to slacken. Thank heavens that is over!
2007 - Interest picks up as the "Albino Cow" Flynn sighting in southern New Jersey energizes a new generation of activists.
I believe that the 2007 post has something to do with something. However that something is a hunch.
This is the end of leads for Flynn Lives. If you find anything else please contact me.
