Just because the background image is bleedthru from the next page in the book does not eliminate it as being part of the clue ... unless you know something you're not telling us :rolleyes:

We found it online with a google image search of moonfish? Exact same image

Overheard at a GDC meeting a few weeks ago:
Dave: So, you guys want to have some fun?
Dean: Yeah, what did you have in mind?
Dave: Let's post a picture of a fish.

... and what makes you think they didn't choose that picture because it has an image thats bleeding through and not because it's a moonfish?

Take a look at the image from an angle to your screen. There is a silhouette and some illegible text in the background.

I see a silhouette of a ufo, so i googled "fish ufo" and the first hit was

That's a great observation, but I don't know how that could relate to the game.

Re: Game Hint #1

has it occured to anyone else that after all this speculation, about all the fish had to do with it was the name of the fish?
well, that and the optional colour sensing

Re: Game Hint #1

I was thinking moonfish as two different things, the first being the Moon, obviously, but the second as a "hockey fish", playing up the playing surface as an icefloor. I first heard this term in a book "The Shockwave River", an interesting SF novel from 1975 that predicts many things, including how intertwined the internet will be with people. Strangely, not via computers but touchkey desk phones with a screen.

I haven't been able to track down what is a "hockey fish" -- in the novel it is referred as a "hockey 'fish" and seems to be someone who follows a particular hockey team. It could be a current term in the hockey world, or just a very obscure reference the GDC came up with.

In the novel it came along with "sweedack", which I also thought was a current hockey term, but one internet source says it was also created in the book -- a French contraction of 'je suis d'accord' used by French-Canadian hockey players in the novel.

Re: Game Hint #1

So let me get this right, the only thing about this hint that was part of the game was the word: "moon." Man we / I overlooked the obvious.

They could have also meant that our robots will be fish-tailing.
