ReBoot

ReBoot characters

When Tron came out in 1982, it beautifully showed the concept of a world inside the computer that is alive with "people". It is this concept that was put to good effect many years later in the animated TV series ReBoot. According to the original creators Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson, they had been working on the idea since the early 80's - stemming from their creation of the Dire Straits 'Money for Nothing' video. It took 10 years before things really started happening, but when they did, it happened big, with ReBoot being just the first animated production from what is now a large company.

Mainframe City is a detailed metropolis and it is right inside your computer! All may be running smoothly until the User does something (don't you know the feeling!) - particularly when the User wants to play a game. Bob is a Guardian and it his job to defend aginst the User Game and Viral attacks. He also wants to find out about the User - why do they cause such disruption to the City? Surely it can't just be for fun?

Mainframe City - Kits Sector

The city is divided into sectors with certain similarities to a real city, but more carefully organised of course. The sectors are: Mainframe Kits (where Bob lives); Baudway (business, shopping and entertainment); Ghetty Prime (industrial); Wall Street (business - data processing); Beverly Hills (elite residential); Floating Point Park (recreation).

Bob has friends, has enemies and various others he has to interact with. For a comprehensive bio of all the characters, the official site is pretty good. There you can find out all about Mike the TV, Dot, Enzo, Matrix, Megabyte and all the others.
