Here is something of a surprise I ran across surfing on the internet (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/07/a-visit-to-flynns-arcade-the-home-of-tron/).
A picture of me playing Space Paranoids at Flynn's arcade in San Diego:
Well, might as well assess interest on this. I wrote a version of Space Paranoids years ago. It was the very first software project I did and it was rough. That being said, I put in dips for switching all software labels in the game to "SPACE PARANOIDS DELUXE", knowing full well a better version would be available someday.
Put simply:
I have always wanted the cabinet from the film.
I want one that will play Space Paranoids Online when it comes out.
I want one that plays a simple movie accurate version.
Now that Space Paranoids Online is coming out, would others be interested in building the cab? It's small and is based on a stock cabaret I believe. I will be happy to share what resources I have for the cabinet and would commit to trying to make a Space Paranoids that matches the one seen in the film.
I was hoping folks would be interested in combining talents (as happened with Starfighter) to make this happen. This is not a junkyard project but hopefully a free collaboration for folks to make all resources available. Also, I don't think this should compete with any merchandise that Disney has coming but chime in if anyone thinks it will.
So for starters, here is what I have:
These are pics of the original bezel posted a long time ago on BYOAC. I don't know who owns this but, if you're here, chime in.
My cleaned up version (I can code but limited on image modification).
The cabinet art is never shown. There is, of course, the ComicCon Flynn's Space Paranoid type art. My favorite is still from BYOAC:

Here's nice cocktail art:

The cabinet itself remains unclear. Maybe Pac cabaret but more likely Dominoes. Any thoughts?
Finally, the software. Had fiddled with closer recognizers back in the day for a version of Combat with Tron vehicles for a multicab.
Here's a screencap:
Passable, but need better models if someone's up to it. Textured recognizer, fragmenting recognizer, envorinmental/maze building blocks, HUD, anything worth improving. My original software and models/textrures are at www.roguesynapse.com.
Tron Legacy looks cool as hell. I want an accurate Space Paranoids.
Come on then! Who's with me?
