The Purple Gaming Program was one of the four teammates of Sam Flynn in Clu's light cycle tournament. He was portrayed by Brent Stait.

Biography

A burly program sporting a white mustache, mohawk, and teal-green circuitry, the Purple Gaming Program was a conscript forced into a death-match in the Light Cycle Grid. As the opposing team's light cycles raced between the conscripts, he shouted, "We've got no chance, user!" before turning away to rez his own bike.

After one of his teammates was killed almost immediately, he pulled up next to Clu's light cycle and attempted to ram it. Clu retaliated with a chopping strike to the base of his helmet, knocking him out, and put his bike's throttle on full before leaving the doomed program to speed straight into the nearest wall, where he crashed and derezzed.
