somebody mapped out the levels on here. it should be in the Space Paranoids thread. I believe they also have all the recognizers, turrets and tanks on them

[chuwawa]

isn't a map from SP had movable dots? (the recognizers and tanks represented by dots were moving, only turrets were static)

on the other hand, 42e could be trying to mess with our head since earlier puzzle seems to easy to crack.

my bets are those black bars were a feint... just tried seeing trough the postcard (put it in an old school tracing desk) and noticed there's something weird with my address sticker, it is as if there a writing behind it using something like november-ish font.

now i just need a way to peel the address sticker off without damaging the print behind it... anything else except alcohol guys??? heat didn't fare well last i tried...


nb: again, sorry for my poor command of english

i pulled my address label off when i had the accident with the soda bottle..there was nothing under neath....

c'mon ...powers that be...throw us a bone or something! before our brains start exploding ( im told brain matter is hard to wipe off forum walls

Just a thought guys.

Any chance of a text file containing the first 10 or so lines of one of the cards? Remember 8 bit programming means it could even be an assembler code for one of the 8 bit processors.

Think of it this way. if the code was 169 255 it looks like rubbish, but in assembler it becomes A9 FF which in 6502 machine code is LDA #FF or load the accumulator with 255.

EDIT - the original Tron Arcade unit was a Midway II powered by a Zilog Z80 processor, so the code may be related to the old Z80 instruction set?

Going back to the 8-bit idea, there were only four cards released. So it could make sense that this 8-bit matrix requires another four cards...for a total of eight.

I think I've bounced just about every combination of 1s and 0s that I can think off off of various hex and ASCII converters and it's all garbage. Unless there's some clever-slash-secret pattern I don't see, I've run out of ideas and I think I'll just wait until someone either Eureka!'s the deal or more cards show up.

I asked Bit if this puzzle will ever be solved, he replied "yes". I asked if he was sure, he replied "yes". I ask, will it be solved around the week of comic-con and he says "yes". Bit is a pretty smart dude, but he is unreliable. For instance, I asked if Germany or Spain will win the World Cup Final, he replied yes for Spain, but quickly changed his mind. Just wanted to share that with you, I really don't have any valuable input. Keep the theories coming, but don't think too hard about it, like people said before, when the time comes for us to solve this puzzle, we will be given a key. And it's going to turn out to be something simple. Bit thinks so too.

I was just thinking that with the "coming to an arcade near you" thing that maybe these dots are actually keys that let only someone with that particular postcard to play that game and that there is no secret embedded message to be decoded. Maybe.
