Encom has released Space Paranoids online as promised (just follow the source link). There are 15 levels to the game, and on each level there is a bar code on one of the walls of the maze (very large, you won't miss it) decode the bar codes, then enter them at http://www.helloflynn.com/ to unlock hi-res images of various vehicles in the movie, and a couple videos too. There are also a couple of secret codes. I don't know if you get any swag from entering the codes, but you do get badges at flynnlives.com for some of them. End of...

Space Paranoids Online will be launching soon. There is a neat countdown at: http://www.encominternational.com/spaceparanoidsonline/ where you can blast away at some Recognizers. Looks like the launch will be Thursday at 4pm EST If you have an account at flynnlives.com, then after blasting 99 Recognizers you are asked to log in, if you then go on to blast 999 Recognizers, you get sent some cool swag mailed to you.

Friday is the live press conf, but if you go to the Flynn Lives site now, you can access the internal Encom website via accounts from various executives. For example, if you plug Kurt Hardington into the cracker and log in, you can find a link to an extended version of the Allan Bradley IGN interview (with the parts Encom wanted edited out), and access to his PC via a remote desktop. Plus you have the real news...

Greetings Programs! At the source URL is a little game where there are 56 video games referenced in a picture, name them all correctly and then you can upload a picture of yourself that will be used to make an ENCOM access badge that will be mailed to you. I might post the answers later if enough people want me to. Also, the http://www.arcadeaid.com website itself is set up as an online store selling parts (including side art) for older arcade games like Space Paranoids, and other related goodies. Don't get too excited though, it is just for show. HOWEVER,...
