VIP card rooms in Monte Carlo...The finest resorts along the French Riviera...Five-star restaurants in New York,London, and Tokyo...

These were the regular haunts of video game genius Kevin Flynn. But now he's off the grid,prompting the world to ask, "Where is this magnificent mogul?"

He virtually invented the video gaming industry with his creation of "Tron" and "Space Paranoids," both products of the mega-successful EnCom Corporation. But even the top executives over at EnCom are keeping tight-lipped about Flynn's mysterious disappearance. If they can't tell us where he is, then who can?

Kevin Flynn's private jet was a mainstay on runways around the planet. He was known to pilot himself to the Bahamas for a weekend getaway or to Finland for a software conference with the greatest computing minds from around the globe. According to sources close to the Flynn family, that jet has not taken flight for months, leaving journalists to speculate about his current whereabouts. The following are a few theories that have been proffered:

DEATH IN THE PACIFIC
Flynn was a yachting enthusiast, but he was never formally trained to operate a sailing vessel...that we know of. If he rented a boat(anonymously,of course) and sailed it into open waters, boat could have been hit by a storm and Flynn could have drowned without a trace.

LOVE LORN
Widowed since 1985, Flynn has kept his romantic life out of the press ever since. Could it be that he has met a special someone and is enjoying the romance in parts unknown?

POWERFUL ENEMIES
You don't get to be the leader of any given industry without stepping on a few toes. Perhaps one or more of Flynn's competitors got fed up with gis unprecedented winning streak and decided to take matters into their own hands. But how could they assassinate such a public, outgoing figure without getting caught? And where is his body?

SAVING THE WORLD
Kevin Flynn has always kept his philanthropic endeavors under wraps. Over the years, he has donated millions of dollars to worthwhile charities (we only know this because of some tenacious investigative reporters). If he were establishing an orphanage in South America or developing a water filtration system in Africa, would he tell anyone about it? Perhaps not. Flynn's character is as altruistic as it is secretive.

Whatever the truth might be, one thing's for sure: the world is better off with Kevin Flynn in it. So for now, the search continues...
