Years ago, when you could download roms from the mame website, I gave a strong up score to the Tron romset. That tipped the romset into the spotlight - there were some leaderboards for highest recent activity and so on. Other people started downloading the romset and voting on it. Suddenly this obscure romset was catapulted into most of the lists for "most active" and "best" etc. I had rated the game honestly. I had fond memories playing the cab for a week on holiday in my youth. But I was surprised that so many other people felt the same, especially on the Mame platform where the game's controls made it tricky. All my deliberate attempts at voting shennanigans failed miserably. (Although I haven't investigated MTurk or similar yet.) I wish there was a site like Meatball wiki where people could share their vote-weighting methods. |

Obscure? :-(
This was my favorite arcade game as a kid. I don't think it was very obscure. Though I have an actual Tron arcade machine not 10 feet from me, so perhaps I'm the wrong person to judge that…
