It is the only game that actually gets me down on my knees doing the, "no, no, no, noooo". The amount of emotional investment that can be placed into a shot is not beaten on many other machines. I don't think this will change a lot over time. Even though the game is usually described as not the deepest, I feel there are so many WAYS in which to get better at playing it. A deep ruleset is not necessarily (IMHO) 100% correlated with long term lastability in a collection (ha! but you would know all about that..35 machines, you would know better than me! I'm not worthy!) Tron simply has EVERYTHING that belongs in a pinball machine.

Quoted from ahanson:

You mean like when you have Portal flashing at the scoop and just can't seem to get it in? And then drain.

Exactly

Quoted from jfh:

Well, if I'm not familiar with the theme, what mods would I care about except LEDs and ramp ropes (or whatever they are like on the LE?

Always hard to know which ones people might be interested in, but these guys went nuts!
