 		Can anyone get a clean scan of this somehow? I think there are 6 pixels per column, but I can't really figure out how many columns there are.

EDIT: NM, just saw the cleaned up ones. I'd say 6 bits is a good start. Hmm...

 		I was thinkin the same thing VanGogh... none of the white squares repeat in the same spot for the other bar. I like the idea about checking ArcadeAid. I'm only seeing 5 games shown on the website but there's gotta be more than that.

 		Two things spring to mind when I saw those - old computer punch cards, which followed a similar format way, way, way back when and morse code, notice there are dots and dashes.

See if any showed up in the mail when I get home.

i remember once seeing a pasadena postmark of some sort on one of my packages...if it was sent from SD it wouldntve gotten here so fast...pasadena, however is like a 20-25 minute drive from here

 		Quick take on the newer scans from mach:

Overlay, desaturated the color and changed the levels to make it easier to see, and a little bit of resizing/formatting to match 'em up closer.

Will definitely be easier to work with once more postcards start coming in Smile

Maybe start working with some grids/graph paper to better position the bits.

Ok, did it on a grid. I'm moving on to Kraz-Bot, then I'll get Vice Squad.

I may have some errors in spacing in here. I did the best I could with the images.

Arcwars:
Kraz-Bot:


Anyone who wants to start giving us binary/hex/ASCII for each column, by all means, start away.

I'm also putting them in one image, so I'll try and overlay them as we get more, just in case that reveals something.

I think they're pixels and when overlaid will give us text.

 		How close to SD are you PapaCheesy? Wondering if just people close to SD are getting these or if it's going to everyone. Also curious how far and how quickly these are getting to people who may be farther out. Wonder who will get the all coveted TRON game postcard? That would be a cool one to have.

Well I'm in Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley. So I'm not that far from SD. But the post mark was from Santa Clarita, CA, which is less than 20 miles from me.

 		My best guess is that it will be a new code to enter in at helloflynn.com

I just got the Vice Squad postcard at work Razz

The missus should have one at home, and she has a blacklight so if it's different I'll get her to take a photo.

 		It's hard to make out the postmark dates. Could you recipients clear that up for us? That'll make it easier to set our expectations.
