 		BTW, unless they give it away as a prize...boy, if there's one postcard per game from the Encom site, that's going to be one prized collection.

 		An entire set does seem pretty desirable, at least right now. But you're right, they may end up giving them away at SDCC or something.

I think we're gonna need multiple scans to error check the overlay.
The work done so far seems pretty darn good, but that one pixel appears to be flubbing it up. I think we're on the right track.

 		Maybe that one pixel is like an anchor pixel to help with overlaying. I'm just throwing the idea out there. It would make some sense to have correlation point on each one. I may just be over thinking though.

 		Correction, I've got three pixels that overlap.

Kraz-bot & Arc Wars - col 8, row 5
Arc Wars & Vice Squad - col 36, row 1
Kraz-bot & Vice Squad - col 51, row 1

So maybe it's not a mistake. Each one overlaps one pixel with each other so far.

Sounds like as good of an idea as any. BTW, I updated the images with column numbers now.

Curiouser and curiouser...
If so then I'm amending my guess as to the font width. I don't think it's fixed.
We need more postcards!!!!

 		Astro Gunner Code
Sorry this isn't very good image but Here's the code for Astro Gunner in 2 parts using the Comiccon black light (knew it would come in handy again)! Maybe you guys can sort it into one good image (I would but I have to be somewhere in about 10 minutes) Good luck, I'll check back tonight, can't wait to see what this thing says!

Astro Gunner
Astro Gunner:


So far:


Overlaps:
Astro Gunner / Arc Wars - 17,1 & 69,1
Astro Gunner / Kraz-bot - none
Astro Gunner / Vice Squad - 41,5

So, if the anchor pixel theory is correct, I'm somehow messed up on my positioning on Astro Gunner. Also, Astro Gunner made me add columns to fit (I was stopping at 102, I went to 110).

BTW, if anyone wants to mess with the source and compare, here are the source files, layered for your pleasure. I'll keep them updated as I mess with it.

Photoshop PSD
The Gimp XCF

I'm gonna be out for a few hours tonight, but I'll try to get back to it later when more people get home with postcards.

 		just a heads up...im thinking it may lead to a website...the other 2 "waves" of the ARG both started with clues that lead to sites (flynnlives.com and homeoftron.com and /derez)

just an idea Smile

No, it doesn't look too good, but if I'm mostly ok with pixels relative to each other, then all it should take is a little sliding around of layers to fix any huge offset problems. I'm hoping that as more comes in we get a better idea. The beginning is looking a bit like a "C", and I'm seeing some other patterns in there. Maybe I should run it through an OCR and see what comes up....

Tried that...I didnt get anything....I also tried running it through a binary translator ( using the blank spots as o and the filled in ones as 1 ) ...and nothing.

Im also thinking it might be ASCII text.. ( people Ive shown this picture too all say the same thing)...
I havent made it home yet to see if Ive gotten a postcard..I dont have a black light available...so Im not sure how Im not sure how Im gonna do this...a home depot run may be in order tonight... Laughing
