3D graphics just started to come around in  the late 70s, early 80s -- of course, with super computers at the time like the Cray and what not they could optimize the graphics to run things like Tron and other junk.

Now you have to remember that the Super Computers in the 80s that made things like Tron and The Adventures of André and Wally B., like per se.. the Cray X-MP, were just about as powerful as say... a Pentium 2 processor, in fact less POWERFUL.

But you could never render Tron on a Windows 95 in any reasonable time, of course. You couldn't even do it on my computer.

There is definitely a lot of excesses and cut-corners in modern computer games. The hardware is fine, it's the code that needs to be better.
