Hello to all, again.

Anyone else tried to encrypt some stuff with blowfish?

"THEYCANNOTATTACKWHATTHEYDONOTSEE" x "Bit Sha" = 29d9a190f6fb0faa
"THEYCANNOTATTACKWHATTHEYDONOTSEE" x "BitSha" = 7c0b0c0f4940eac2

Tried this too:

"THEY CANNOT ATTACK WHAT THEY DO NOT SEE" x "Bit Sha" = a07b10d703b956c5
"THEY CANNOT ATTACK WHAT THEY DO NOT SEE" x "BitSha" = b89a126e255985bd

In CBC mode. No matches.

Also there is a peace of my long (and maybe wrong and maybe rules breaking) way result:

Now when I wrote this text I see an error in steps what I do when doing this, so I have an question and do not know. If result can be applied as an answer for archive is this breaking rules? All image generation process (except recognition and pattern generation) has been automated.

Stuck on this.

Why only use the left hand side of the image? Right hand bottom, has something, that looks like something was written in freehand?

Or am I starting to imagine things that are not there?

Like a Artist Signature? If it was, it could lead us to the picture.

The area I've marked in the image, doesn't it seem to be lighter?

It's more clearly visible if you change the hue of the image, like this:

I agree. I wonder if it indicates that some folding happened, or that a phase shift of some sort would be useful.

A couple other things:
- if you decompose into CYMK, the cyan channel is almost completely dark. that seems odd, so I wonder if that's an artifact of how the image was created and might give PS jocks a better way to approach breaking it up
- if you decompose into RGB, the blue channel has the sterogram-looking stuff but none of the other artwork/character artifacts, it's sort of a blank slate. I was trying to subtract it from other parts of the image but couldn't sort out anything terribly useful.

Yes, I have noticed that too

EDIT, there is also a small line in there which is even brighter.

Actually the first part of the brighter part.....

I ruled out all of them, even "Defender of the Crown" which looked promissing.

I have to go now, but there are more 100 games in 10 minutes videos, maybe one of them helps to find the a fitting game.

Has anyone got any good tips for testing a lot of different passwords on the .7z file without having to reopen each time?

It's a bit annoying with winrar giving a corrupt file error message every time i enter a wrong password.

looks more like an aztec type face to me, but the fighters look more like a roman  type with armor fighting some dude in a toga

Well for the f^%^ of it, just renamed extension to .bmp / .jpg / .mp3 / .avi / .mov ---> Got nothing.

I guess source file is a legitimate 7Z file, if it asks for a password.

Just thought I'd check anyways.

Edit : And the dark stripe above 2 fighters looks like closed {sealed} lips. And the 2 bumps looks like breasts, but it might just be my horney side talking.

Shit, I was trying to make a remake of Wonderboy in Wonderland Monsterland  Undecided a while back for android and I had the full map.

Let me look for it......

EDIT: Yeap, probably Monkey Island.....

mirth is correct the art style is wrong for monkey island. it looks older yet the background is huge (for an old game) even if its fixed.

Here's what I got:




EDIT: I don't see any similar patterns  Undecided

I agree that it looks like two characters swordfighting. After doing some googling on sword and shield in video games here is a list of games that probably AREN'T those figures:

ActRaiser: doesn't have a shield, doesn't look quite right
Archon: no matching character
Castlevania: graphic style is similar but doesn't look quite right
Golden Axe: none of the main characters are pictured
Nighogg: pretty sure not since it's more about fencing, although the art is somewhat similar
Rygar: Nope, he doesn't have a sword
Super Ghouls and Ghosts: figures are shaped wrong
Trojan: Maybe? Figures aren't shaped quite right.
Zelda: Link has a distinctive silly hat that we don't see

The artwork looks naggingly familiar to me as something I played on the C64 in the days of yore (really dating myself here), but I can't quite place it.

I wonder if the figures go along with the background image in some way?

Monkey Island, but the swordfighting scene has another background
...
Hmmmm, maybe the "face" is a skull from the game or a map?
A pirate map?

I do recall a Monkey Island map that had something like this, but the sword fighting figures look wrong (especially since one appears to have a shield).

Doesn't that look like two game characters fighting with swords - the left one holding a shield as well.
-snip-

It does indeed and if you concentrate to "not see a cat" you can actually see the rest as a langscape.

Hmmmm, any 8 Bit games that remind you of that?
Wonderboy comes to my mind......
