 		Just an idea, but what about some of the other pins we recieved previously, like Sam's logo and Space Paranoids. I noticed that they float around the concert crowd in the middle of the image. Any sort of pattern there?

 		Also, I agree that the "right" clue on the poster note is VERY important. However, I just looked at the image from thebruce's FL wiki, and I can't make heads of tails of this clue. The 89 pin logo and Space Paranoids are dead-center of the map, while the 4 new pin images are towards the right. Anyway, here's the link to the full image. Maybe you guys can figure it out. Good Luck. I'll be here if you guys find anything....

 		checked out that mindsweeper... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Fancy_%28AM-234%29

Her designation was Was the USS Fancy (am-234) until given to the Russian and Re-Named "Vyuga"

I Searched Vyuga and found a couple of things.. one a pdf file
http://alexandria.tue.nl/extra2/200611403.pdf

its for some sort of Particle beam.. Its long and Technical. there are a couple of diagrams that look like Flynns particle Beam..

is this just a coincidence???

I think all of this is merely a coincidence, but here are some pictures I saved while messing around with the idea of the pins being markers in the game.

Image 1 - a cut out of just the area within the points. (I used the Tron Guard standing on top of the building because he is the only lone guard that is facing to the right as depicted in the pin.



Image 2 - cutout of the same area with the entire game image flipped horizontally.



This is where I noticed something interesting. People have pointed out the boat in the water with the reversed "BOAT 234" written on it. When I flipped the image horizontally, the shape of the points marked by the pins began to look like an arrow, that pointed directly at the boat



Here are some other random connections I've noticed:

The 'arrow' points to the boat, which a google search suggests "U Boat 234"; which was originally planned to be a minelaying submarine. The other end of the arrow is the clue for the game mine sweeper. The boat depicted in the game is obviously not a submarine though..

There is a boat manufacturer called "MAKO" that has a model "234" which does look somewhat similar to the boat depicted in the game. http://www.mako-boats.com/boat/?boat=3293

Again, I'm sure these are all mere coincidences, but, let the theorizing begin.



Hmmm looks like you got the next step!! i originaly connected the dots about 10 pages back but could,nt figure out the next step!! i confirm your findings with the boat and the now forward name on it!!

<a>Photobucket</a>


Just Connect the dots in a new layer!! then Mirror the Background (Poster image) try it!!


I crossed the bay bridge two or three times a day for two years. There is a boat right next to the bay bridge, I mean RIGHT NEXT TO IT that looks like that.

It is a boat for the firehouse. It's a red looking tug boat and it's location is less than a quarter mile from Justing Herman Plaza - aka location of Operation Tron.

At first I thought you guys were crackpots but hopefully this information is helpful and means something.

No thats not the german u-boat!! thats a american mindsweeper i posted.. different boat!! it was given to the russians in 1945 and renamed "Vyuga"
its american name was the USS FANCY (AM-234) .. Seeing its a little pink boat.. i can see "Fancy" being its name.. when do you ever see a pink boat!!

Also when i searched "Vyuga" i found a Techincal paper by a Demitry Vyuga for something called a "Subnanosecond Pulsed-DC ultra-high
gradient photogun for bright relativistic electron bunches" not sure what it is but something to do with particle acceleration and beams??

Some of the diagrams look like stuff out of Flynn's back room



Check out the links!!!

Hey guys. Maybe this is part of the viral that I missed before... I got most of the badges but missed a couple early ones... I was looking at your boat stuff, and looked at the boat next to it. It said dumont shipping. So I googled that.

The site: http://www.dumontshipping.com

Is a subsidiary of Encom. On the shipping page it asks for a username and password. Is this new?
