About this converter

Bally Tron 1982 pays programs over tanks. Cone Block pays 25, Grid Bugs 50, Tank first and Recognizer first 100, Tank second 300, Tank final, Light Cycles and Recognizer final 500, Bugs bonus, Blocks bonus and Cone entry 1000 and Bit 5000. That makes one Bit equal one hundred Grid Bugs or ten Tank finals. Tanks need three hits for 100 plus 300 plus 500 total 900, Recognizers copy the same at higher levels. Every figure here is the arcade ticket from the manual tables.

How to use it

Pick two actions and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first action, one the matching count of the second, one the total in points. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Bit against Bugs.

I/O Tower entry pays remaining timer 500 Level 1 to 1000 other levels, variable so stays out. Light Cycles pay 500 per enemy trapped, noted as per enemy. Recognizers ram without shooting but pay Tank hits, noted as copy. Solar Sailer stage drops Bit after spider stage clears. Good luck.
