Got my postcard in the mail, but it's a Kraz-Bot one. Erf! Thanks for putting up the source files, madopal - and keep up the great work! Just been playing with the files and moving the layers around, seeing if anything comes up…

Did you check that the "pixels" were the same as the other Kraz-Bot card?
If they're in different places, we could be looking at this all wrong. Remember the UV variations on the FLYNN LIVES posters.

Also, we could be looking for a code where the pixels that aren't filled carry the message (Likely not ASCII binary, but maybe Braille or something else.).

Already suggested that (see top of this page).
I think that might be the case.

I am here in AZ, so since you Cali folks are getting them, we should be getting them here tomorrow or Friday.

I'm in So Cal and I received the Kraz-Bot! postcard.

I wonder if they're sending out specific cards to specific regional areas... So far we're aware of 4 cards. Perhaps other states or other countries get different postcards. That way everyone has to get involved. Otherwise by the time people on the other side of the planet get theirs the code (whatever it may be) will have already been solved. Guess we'll see!

Idk cuz 3 people in my household signed up and we all got 3 diffrent cards.

Arc Wars
Astro Gunner
Kraz Bot

Got a Kraz-Bot card, am in So-Cal, but did not get into Flynn's last year. Never make it to con.

[darthdono74 @ hotmail.com]

Anyone take note of the bio of each game on the back, they have a date when they were released:
Arc - No Date
Vice - 1982
Kraz - 1983

Will take more post cards to confirm if the dates in the bio means anything,
my guess would be the order in which you should read the code.

Any thoughts?

I'm loving the vintage art on these cards. It really captures the essence of old 80's game cartridge/arcade advertisements. Here's hoping I get one in the mail in the next few days. Kind of clueless to the whole barcode thing happening on the backs of them. They almost resemble individual pixels that appear when older games glitch on and off in buggy areas.

Ah, good. Now I better track down something to use as a blacklight.
