Can we have games now? What happened with the rings?

I never really looked at this part of ATS until now.

I kind of want to know what happened with the rings and the 4.

Does any older member remember?

Can anyone make one of these games?

I believe that all of the games are no longer with us anymore. As there is no recent participation that gives me the feeling that they have since sailed off into the sunset for whatever reason.

BTW, I only recall vague mention of such ATS games anyway.

I never noticed this forum.

There is a rings thread from 1969 and 1970.

Very strange.

Yeah no kidding, nothing but a monument to the ancient and older users from way back when, I wonder what happened to a vast majority if them..

Its cool huh. Those are clues to the game. I wish we could get one going now.

Very cool, thanks for posting this.

Going through these old threads and reading posts from members long gone I almost feel like I stumbled across some old archeological site.

To bad it seems extinct now.......

what is this forum? and why is it hidden?

a reply to: humanoidlord

old code breaking games ATS used to have.

How did you know about this since it isn't on the forums list page?

a reply to: stosh64

I honestly dont remember what I clicked on, but some link came up about one of the clues when I was looking through the archives for something else.

Then the search function led to the rest.

a reply to: tadaman

Yep, I just did an "ATS games" search and the first thread took me to the forum.

Very cool, should keep me busy for the night reading.

Thanks again for the heads up tad

Yeah man, here is another way:

Just change the "03" in the link to another number. Cycle through them to see all the forums pop up.

I love this guys post, as I am reading these "puzzles" I have to admit I feel similar. LoL

OK, I normally don't complain a lot.. so when I do, it's FOR A GOOD REASON. I like the fact that ATS sponsors games... and even gives out prizes... but W T F... why are they so darn DIFFICULT?

I mean, for one.. Find The Rings... what was that about? I was all hyped-up for it.. and when it started... I just got too confused to continue.

Point 2... Black Labyrinth... all I saw was the UNUS link and yup, I got disoriented.. I blame the labyrinth animation.

Point 3... this SO game... ok, I'm reading.. and we get various letters from "AboveTopSecret.com"... and they don't make any sense... I'm sitting here crying and spilling milk and ripping my hair out... over a puzzle.

WHY MUST THESE BE SO DIFFICULT?

Even video games have Strategy Guides... maybe there can be like hint guides or something you can buy with points?

Sure, I'm not saying don't do games like these.. but there ARE members who'd love to play (like myself) but really can't due to the fact we may not be "up to par" with others.

Now that I'm out of steam... I'm ending this bloody rant.. and am hoping I have backup :bnghd: [STAY COOL) -prophetmike

Awesome!
Thanks

I remember the games. I could never get my head around them.

a reply to: tadaman

oh its an hidden forum like the tinwiki?

I really wish ATS would do another ARG. I definitely spent long hours with other members trying to puzzle out solutions. Good times.
