MattyXB Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Yes, thats bad. But you can try to find something here on AtariAge. Here is too the map from Pitfall Harry, maybe you find something on it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarinvader Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Is anybody else looking at a long string of 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s and 6s? Or think what relation this could have with anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I found that, and am totally mystified by the 1-4 bit with a couple 6s... And I've gotta go off to class in 20 minutes or less! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Well, I'm the fourth official contestant, but I think I'm stumped for the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayeight Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 well i like all this posting, competition is healthy, Dr. Jones. try exploring the local flora, and the fauna (if man counts) on the map. painting is too /opposite of delicate/ so try replacing things for greater percision. bring microscope. or is it magnifining glass?

StanJr Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 So ya gotta have computer know-how to play, huh? That means I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 There is something in that 2nd frame but I can not get it. I can see there is something there and it does not look like the T but I do not know what it is, any ideas about it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I had to renable GIF animations in my browser. Then the scorpion's tail displays the following text: going right: ZEFUWNT2WINTHPRIZE going left: THFRAMESUMSCRTNI For me it's quite hard to understand, but it means about: See if you want to win the prize the frames you must SCRTNI Can somebody translate me the last letters, please???! Could be related to the browser frames, or something completely different. I think we are close to solve the (first?) riddle.

Scooterb23 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I've been scouring everything on that site for 3 days now...and I've not seen anything past the letters in the scorpion's tail, the crypt clue Thomas was talking about, and the word clue in that other map. I'd love to know where all these 1-4 with 6s and "easy clues" and eveything else you people are talking about are coming from. But I can't waste any more of my time on this...I'd love to have the games, but it looks like I'm so far behind now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Yes thats it. I have think it too, after you tell it. Every move from the scorpion is a diffrent letter. But its very hard to now all letters, because the scorpion is so fast. Has someone a programm, which can choose all pictures in a gif file? Wow, good work Thomas. I have try to copy each animation from the gif, but it take too long. Are you shure, that you have all letters?

iguana Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 THe text wraps around I believe it says the frames you must scrutinize? how did you get all the letters though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 THFRAMESUMSCRTNI? The Frames You Must See Are TNI ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 quote: Originally posted by MattyXB: Are you shure, that you have all letters? ] Yes, the GIF is animated in 36 pictures, and I have 2*18 letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be related to the browser frames, or something completely different. I think we are close to solve the (first?) riddle. I think you're close, Thomas. You just have the letters in the wrong order. The animation reads (in order of the animation frames)... THFRAMESUMSTSCRTNIZEFUWNT2WINTHPRIZE If I am reading it correctly, as such: TH / FRAMES / U / MST / SCRTNIZE / F / U / WNT / 2 / WIN / TH / PRIZE Or... "The frames you must scrutinize if you want to win the prize." Now its just a matter of figuring out what frames to scrutinize. Or maybe this is the answer? Dunno...
