"Tron" got me into computers. "Wargames" turned me into a computer geek.
......and 30 years later, here I am, still one.

Over the years I’ve read so many interviews with people across the spectrum that have cited Tron as a major influence on their work. Computer guys, writers, musicians/video people, artists, people in the special FX world... it’s really incredible how big an influence it was. The whole cyberpunk genre owes a big debt to that film as well. I was a geek to begin with but Tron pretty well solidified it.
And yea, the video game sucked, but it’s influence on gaming as a whole is staggering.
