TRON 2 Disparity?

Ok, so I gotta ask where did the Tron world reside this time? In the original 1982 movie, it obviously took place on ENCOM’s computers and server farm. The laser was in an ENCOM lab, Flynn had to sneak in, etc. The world itself was full of cheesy graphics and objects could only move at angles, generally.

This movie had panoramic landscapes, fluid like light walls, better uniforms, no stupid hats, and the objects moved in fluid curves. Then there were the “isomorphs.” However, Sam had to sneak into the basement of an arcade where an old 1982-1989 era desktop existed. No server farm, no internet connectivity (Tronworld didn’t even know about wi-fi), and it had been running for 20+ years without an error or hardware failure.

That’s one helluva desktop system, and the “programs” are all very advanced for existing in a few KB of data a piece, considering a LARGE desktop hard drive in that era was MFM controlled and about 30MB. Not to mention he downloaded it all to a small memory card around his neck.

Good movie though.
