DescriptionWe used to watch a TV programme called the "Krypton Factor" back in the '80s. If only this game was around then it would've been perfectly suited to that format.

Test your reflexes with this one. Now no cheating by down-clocking your emulated speccy! Even if you are the sort of person who when spoken to may reply five minutes later "did you say something there?" you should still be able to eventually get the hang of this one.

I started off quite slowly with some poor scores, but got a bit better at it after a few further attempts. I still haven't got as far as getting the promised "reward" that the program tantilisingly offers. I haven't reached that higher plane of awareness just yet.

Also, don't jump the gun or of course you will fail before it has even started. This one does get pretty tough. But that's not surprising for me since every time I think I have swatted a fly, it is actually in the next room, rubbing its legs by the time I have realised I never caught it.

CommentsThis one is actually a challenging game. I never did completely master it as I'm just too, well slow really. As a tester of reaction times perhaps it should become part of the standard driving test or something. Eventually I tried to beat the game by mentally "timing" the countdown such that I could get a really fast score. With this method, I mostly failed by "jumping the gun" although I did get "8 ticks" at one point. Ahhhrg, that was so near yet so far from the ultimate goal of "7 ticks!" at which a treat is promised. Nice one if you were ever to host the spec-chum crap game equivalent of a "LAN party". It's actually a little too enjoyable and unique (and dare I say potentially useful) to become truly crap!
