Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're missing some pages. If we could identify that music on the flash page, that would probably lead us to another page.

Another recurrence is 0__ in the middle of the group. It seems that c (ASCII 099) would be the only letter to fit.

But the comma is ASCII 044, and it would sort of match up with the coordinates we've been seeing in the comments.

That's just an observation though; it doesn't really help me in figuring it out.

OK, on a whim I tried to find music to Zork, and I found a site with music from Return to Zork. I listened to some of the pieces; I haven't found matches with the ones on the page, but they sounded a lot like them.

Then I just decided to try

Nice work! When vis sent vidstudent that coded message, he used the key neckert. Maybe he prefers to use keys of the form first initial, last name?

We can also try the hlovecraft code on llhlhchttlhflvhllc:

The text on the Zombie Prom page kind of looks like musical notation:

Well, if it is music notation, this is what it should sound like (more or less): http://www.wonderweasels.org/daemon/daemon.mid

I put it on my site since I can't upload mids here (yet).

Haha, good job!

That is the return to zork page though ...

I kind of randomly picked return to zork after listening to that video game music, so I'm not sure if that had some other clue.

If you put in star control, it takes you to the zork page.

Here's the weird thing:
"addams family" as a key takes you to the page with Zombie Prom music, but "zombie prom" is the key to take you to the Addams Family page. It's a circle.

Hmm, now what? Try a bunch of Addams Family related keys?

*edit* OK, I put in "blast from the past" (the name of Zombie Prom song) and it took me to the "zork" page, so maybe the "addams family" page is a hint that we're on the right track but need a different key.

Hey, maybe we have to finish the song?
Here's a midi:

Okay...since I played with the element.swf, I figured I might as well play with the 2 new flash files. I found some interesting stuff, tho I don't know how much it's gonna help us

SPOILER: Info taken from a flash decompiler (I know, I'm so bad)

I don't know what's wrong with using a Flash decompiler anyway.

OK, on skordie0.wav

Three syllables?

Suikoden 2is an RPG with *way* too many characters (108 Stars - collect them all! ...dude, even Kingdom Hearts has only 102 dalmations to collect, and none of them are playable characters.) Return to Zork is a text adventure like the good ol' days. Skate or Die is a game with various skateboarding areas that require you to show off your skill and avoid bees.

...wait, they're also all games with sequels - in two of the cases, they *are* the sequels (Skate or Die had a Skate or Die 2).
