The Discs of Tron cabinet. I first saw it in the Fiesta Fun Center at the Contemporary at Disney World in the early 80s. It was an endcap, so it was very visible. It was a darkened booth you stepped into with a surround sound system, and fluorescent lights, so your skin seemed to glow like in the movie when you were in there. The joystick glowed too, it was transparent and had a light in it. There was also a back-glass with a picture of Tron raising his arms to the disc over his head. The screen was partially transparent with a background. Best of all, the original had a voice chip. Later versions of it, and the non-atmospheric cabinets don't seem to have that, so you had David Warner's voice as Sark taunting you or being vengeful with rage: "You'll regret this!"
