Folks, I HAVE to get to work. One more thought before I leave. The helicopter in the Flynn Lives pic is further back along it's path of travel. What if Sam's parachute pulled back the same distance? Would put him somewhere near the top of the fountain sculputure.

Anyway, if anyone figures this out, PLEASE email me the result at waterbornSPLAT2old2playDOTcom - PLEASE!

Good luck all!

Tell me if we find anything!

All of the games in that area are missing. The only thing I can see is that the helicopter has been shifted right.

Grasping at straws here but, if you put the images in order of file name they appear in this order:

1 (924365354)
7 (924365355)
2 (924365357)
6 (924365358)
9 (924365360)
8 (924365362)
5 (924365364)
4 (924365366)
3 (924365368)

Maybe the re-ordering of things might reveal something. Also, by the file names it might imply that there are more images out there somewhere like #924365356, for example...

Unusual for a puzzle to be revealed this late in the day

I hate being away from home, I think better in my chair. I had a dumb thought when I read the double u being a w. Leet speak, but that doesn't fit. We need the list on the current page and maybe even the picture. A brain in vacation mode is terrible during an ARG mystery.

Gotta go back to bed!! However, my two-penneth worth:
1, the pdfs are deliberately IN ORDER 1 through to 9 - we need to ensure that the clues are kept in the same order as the pdf files. Otherwise, it just wouldn't make sense.

2, sorry robbie - but are you sure that pdf#5 points to "Prey". Cuz I get "Malice (126)" when I overlay it in Photoshop...

Still stuck though...

difference in the single digits column:
691
357

anyone with those poster numbers?

Perhaps the pictured games Arcade Aid clue # plus (or minus) the corresponding circled games Arcade Aid clue #.
Or maybe the difference between the two points to a third game.

Example (I'll do the first one, but someone who's got all the data in front of them might wanna try knocking #2-#9 out. Yes, I'm lazy!):
Clue #1: Space Duel (#93) points to 50 Cent Bulletproof (#88 ). Soooo...
93+88=181 (hex B5) or
93-88=5 (hex 05) Admittedly, neither correspond to anything on the ASCII chart - 5 is a control character, while 181 is 'µ'.

There is no game 181, since there are only 167 games. But the difference between the two (highest # minus lowest) is 5, which is the game '720'. Perhaps you could plot a triangle with the three games.

Anyways, just throwing some possible ideas out there... maybe someone will see something in it.

Just bringing this up to the front..... still not sure if what I did here helps or not.

If it's related, could the UU be read as W?

Nearly midnight here in the uk, gotta crash out.
Good luck everyone.
