Welcome to the COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL TRON TIMELINE's more official than official thread.
In my first Tron-Sector.com post ever, I asked this community, What's the only thing you can't find anywhere on the Net regarding TRON but, officially and unofficially, STAR WARS, THE MATRIX and even TRANSFORMERS or ROBOTECH has?
Go. Before you read anything else, do a Google search on "Tron Timeline". Browse through the results. Now search for "Star Wars timeline" or "The Matrix timeline" or "Robotech timeline" or whatever you like... Browse through the results.
Sad but true. TRON fans doesn't even have an "unofficial" one. Not here and not at Tron Wiki. Until now. After 25 five years of an almost "selfish passion" (I haven't met an avid TRON fan in Mexico City yet) and after playing TRON 2.0, I came up with the idea of making a worthy contribution to the TRON community... My fellow programs, be proud, for here and now you have your very own Tron Timeline...

I want to say that I dedicate this 'Tron Timeline PDA flash movie' to Steven Lisberger... Thank you Mr. Lisberger for such a labour of love and a testimony of hard work and determination that has had a big impact on me. Feel free to point out any major timeline errors.
Finally, let this thread serve one purpose... Improve the CUTT PDA's 'fun factor' with everybody's feedback on what should be included or left out. Thanx. Enjoy.

Several questions:

How do we know that Dillinger stole Flynn's programs on Sept. 22th, 1978?

How sure are we with the year 1981? I know that's when Tron was filmed, but for all we know the movie could be taking place in '82.

How do we know it was Dec. when Flynn was rehired?order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Updated the CUTUC to version 1.1.0 with my latest findings on the video games Flynn coded.
The five names of the referred video games can be seen in a sign outside FLYNN'S. Read HERE. The previously 'unknown' names have been updated at the beginning of this thread too.

I like this! I saved a lot of the E-mail traffic from Alan to Flynn and other related company EnCom Emails. (Screenshots) so I'll see if I can look those up. (Tron 2.0)

Are we counting the comic books?order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Aha! Now that is fantastic! Thanks a lot, David1! I'm definitely putting this up on Tron Wiki.

TRON.dll Wrote:Thanks, David1! That saved me the trouble of having to think about doing that and blowing it off, lol. Hopefully TR2N will take all that into consideration, but didn't Lisberger say something about TRON 2.0 being a different cannon or something?

Updated the CUTUC to v.1.5.0
Aah! Nothing like a cool, juicy update like this... The recent HOME OF TRON and FLYNN LIVES "viral marketing" sites have some very specific info regarding some aspects of the original movie (such as 6/3/81 being the date when Kevin Flynn first opened his arcade) and other details of the story that followed...

Already added above for your convenience...

good thread. i haven't played the 2.0 game. now i will.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

It's cool seeing the timeline integrated like this.

In regards to the comic. One of the reasons Eric and I wrote the comic as we did, was so that the timeline would be relatively unaffected. We obviously didn't create any of the characters seen in the film or game, and we didn't want to make any real alterations to them. Subsequently, the entire story in the comics transpires in the blink of an eye (in real world time) and doesn't really involve any of the previously seen characters.

The original story we pitched to Disney (this was before the game was announced) was a prequel. We weren't going to touch the real world stuff, but we mapped out the events that lead to the MCP taking control and Tron becoming both a well known hero and a prisoner.
