Early 80's computer graphics

So, i have to admit that, i just watched Tron for the first time recently (thanks Clinton). It was released in 1982! (i was only one!). It's pretty cheesy, but i quite liked it - so i hope they do it justice when making the updated version. A lot of things have changed in the 25+ years since Tron was released but light-bikes are still pretty cool. Check out the opening clip.

Another great 80's graphic accomplishment was The Dire Straits 'Money for nothing' video. This is 1984, and while not a motion picture from Disney, it probably had some decent money. It's nice to know we've progressed well passed this now... although the music hasn't gotten better at an equal pace (i think it's more of a downward spiral).

Just thought i'd throw these up here for a little nostalgia. I'll be away for the long weekend so don't expect any posts until the first week of September... but feel free to click on some ads while i'm gone!! That means you Clinton! :o)
