More added to the TRON LEGACY / "Flynn Lives" online ARG today, with the release of Space Paranoids Online. You can zap Recognizers in retro-arcade glory -- and for those of us who are fans of the original film, this is something we've been wanting to do for 28 years ("Space Paranoids" was a game seen in the film, but wasn't part of the original TRON videogames made for arcades).

Fifteen levels of gameplay were available, which I completed in about an hour (it gets *really* hard). But there was a cooler secret within the walls of the game -- hidden barcodes appeared, and if you scanned them (I used RedLaser on iPhone), they offered a numeric code.

Meanwhile, over on the Flynn Lives Discussion Boards, a new entry revealed a site called Hello Flynn -- which looks just like Dillinger's cool touch-screen desk from the original film. If you entered the barcode numbers found on SPO into this desktop, you were rewarded with over a dozen new images from the upcoming Tron Legacy, including concept art and sketches. Very cool stuff.

Click the Recognizer to the right for a full run-down of today's puzzle, including all of the downloaded images.

I've uploaded a video of the images found in today's Flynn Lives Tron Legacy online ARG -- clues found in Space Paranoids Online led to unlocking numerous concept images from the film (plus, I added a fan-created soundalike of Daft Punk's TL theme).
