 Disney had been planning to do a Tron game for many years, sometimes  even going as far as creating technical lightcycle demos, but  nothing usually ever came of it. It was a chance meeting with a  Monolith employee and Disney Interactive (later creating Buena Vista  Games) that set the stage. Everyone at Disney was impressed with  Monoliths game "No One Lives Forever" and they were willing to let  Monolith take the Tron license for a spin.
