CRPGs, in general, are derivative of paper-and-pencil based role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). For example, the vast majority of video-game RPGs assign various attributes to the characters, such as hit points (HP), magic points (MP), and levels. These games also tend to borrow the narrative structure of many paper-and-pencil RPGs; usually a group of heroes (a party) is sent on some sort of quest. Along the way, the adventurers face an endless barrage of enemies and monsters ...

Tron was one of the first movies to use long computer-generated sequences. About thirty minutes of computer-generated animation (blended with the filmed characters) were used. Though the movie has been criticized for woodenness of acting and — perhaps unjustly — incoherence of plot, the movie is celebrated as a milestone of computer animation. To be able to create the film, Disney turned to Triple I who owned the Super Foonly F-1, the fastest PDP-10 ever made (and the only one of its kind) as well a ...

Actors Bruce Boxleitner (Alan Bradley/Tron) and Peter Jurasik (Crom) would later team up again in the TV series Babylon 5. While their Tron characters never met, on B5 they had many scenes together (Boxleitner as John Sheridan, and Jurasik as Londo Mollari). In the computer world, all programs wear uniforms with colored circuit lines on them. The original concept was to have the 'evil' programs (those loyal to Sark and the MCP) with blue circuit lines, and good programs would have yellow. At some point this was changed to blue for goo ...

At first, there were only three hyenas, but eventually Scar gathered a full army of them. The first attempt by the hyenas to kill Simba was foiled by Mufasa, so Scar lined up his ranks of troops and promised that, in the new era in w ...
