Arcadeaid.com Phone Number

http://www.arcadeaid.com/contact.htm

If you call this number (314) 925-2642, you can leave a voice mail.
You can also press *, then # and try to get into the voice mail box.

Let see if we can break in.

I left a message, didn't think to try and hack the voicemail. We might get a a code later on down the line that will let us do just that. At the moment I'm content with leaving my voicemail and seeing where it goes from here.

What about the conspicuous code from the building in the arcadeaid game? 3-42, I think it was?

So, maybe this will lead to cracking the voice mail, maybe not, but still something for future reference.

Below the number the page gives off, 3 quotes are givin by happy customers. Obviously they are talking about, frogger, donkey kong, and space invaders.

Maybe using the years, or full date when they came out? Haven't tried, but just something.

on a similar note...i tried the binary columns code in the arcadeaid poster

when I plug this into a translator I get these characters:

&#240

I thought maybe it was hinting at hitting the "*" and then going to extension 240...but it didn't work...


then again I am no expert at binary....let me know if you guys get anything else out of the binary columns

Did you notice the text on the Parts page: ...maybe a CALL to action...

http://www.arcadeaid.com/parts.htm

DON"T SEE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR? GIVE US A CALL AND WE'LL TRY TO LOCATE THE PARTS YOU NEED TO GET BACK IN THE GAME.

now what this means...not sure...just a possibility...

Aw I see what you mean on who Zack is. His avatar is the same one of ArcadeAid banner creatures nice catch myestro.

On a Phone extensions note I tried these numbers since there a 3,2 and the 3-42 in the arcadeaid quiz that I seen so far.

23342
32342
2
3
42
0 (for operator also invalid)

Not sure if trying to hack the inbox is the same thing as entering the extension. I didn't try # or anything like that. But the invalid extension statement is really prompt if you pause at all. It seems kind of weird since most real phone system would probably give you more time.

But at any rate does anyone think it actually going to keep the messages we leave. Since that could be quite a bit of voice mail for someone to listen to. It's probably more likely they just going to track our calls using caller id, but I suppose they could have voice recognition.

Just tried the # # method for selecting a mailbox to access and got the locked message. It kind of weird that worked I was expecting it to say invalid mail box since don't most system only allow that if you calling form the same phone number as the mail box.

I not sure hacking the mail box route would be intended though if they have a locked message.

What about TDK viral 42 ran. There were a bunch of Gotham numbers you could called. I never looked into those, but did those lead anywhere back then?

I think its just a voice mail, when I did most of the viral stuff for TDK, we usually got phone calls from gordon.. never called anybody for anything, only if u were one of the lucky ones to score the cell phones.

Actually, if you leave a voice mail for Zach (and a return phone number), you never know, he might call you back sometime in the future. Like a call to arms.

Or your voice mail could show up on the site as a sound file "hey, look at all these other folks interested in finding Flynn".

Pressing 8 after the line is picked up, and an Operator will ask you to enter the first few letters of the persons name you wish to contact.

Pressing *8 or *9 (it changes) when the line picks up, and the Operator asks you for the pin number to your personal mail box.

Sometimes the operator says the mail box has been locked because of too many bad key attempts.

I've tried everything for both of these options, with no luck so far.

When you leave a message. Press 2 after you are done to send it. 3 to erase and redo it. 1 to listen to it.

Ask for the arcade panel art decals you want (Space Paranoids, Tron) or say that you ordered a set and it has not shown up yet (That's what I did)

I got a funny feeling that is what they intend to give to the people who provided the with name address and phone number info.
