a decent browser?

oh, and a challenging puzzle where you try and find the subtle and not so subtle differences between two virtually identical photographs.

IE 6.X has no problem with it.

I hate you, crunchland.

I used to have a weekly pub night with friends at a bar that had a machine where you could play this. People fed dollars into that machine non-stop, it's so simple, but addicting.

Very cool, even if it did force me to open IE instead of using Firebird.

There are two somewhat fun but easy ways to cheat. First you can create a series of macros in photoshop (esp if you have two screens like me) that does a difference filter on one of the frames. The second way is to do the stereo optics thing where you cross your eyes and the differences will appear to flicker in the third image.

it's pretty sneaky. i saw what i thought was a repeat set of pics, but the differences were..er..different.

Set Firebird as your default application to open up .swf files. Because, of course, IE sucks.

There's a third way to cheat, since it's Flash. ;) But that takes all the fun out of it.

Amberglow, my friend - you must be using the wrong Safari. This was, like, made for Safari, dude. :)

The error that I received was HTTP 403.9...too many users connected. It works beautifully in Safari. Just refresh. ;)

In Mozilla, I had to go to the homepage then click my way back to the game .. I got 3 right on the first one and one on the second. . .

The 403.9 error just means too many users at the moment... reloading has a good chance of fixing the glitch.

Did OK until I got to the picture of the lady in the bikini, and then I just couldn't be bothered looking for differences.

direct link to the swf for those, like me, who don't want your entire screen needlessly taken over by flash.
