UFO? Flying Saucer?... Reflex by Parker Brothers!

It may look like an alien spacecraft, but the round device shaped like a flying saucer is actually a Parker Brothers electronic gaming device from 1981 called Reflex, Five Electronic Games of Quick Reaction. In this edition of ThriftyAV Plays, I try out all 5 of the built-in games and discuss the gameplay. Due to the fast nature of the gameplay, I recorded and uploaded this video at 60fps.

This device runs on 6 AA batteries and offers 5 games to test your reflexes. 3 of the games are single player, with 2 games for two players.

Information from the box. Parker Brothers No. 4000. 1 or more Players, Ages 8 to Adult.

REFLEX is a game of streaking lights and whirling sounds that cause your mind to race and your fingers to fly. It's a game of quick reactions and precise timing. REFLEX can be a personal challenge or a one-on-one contest. Most of all, it's five different fun and exciting games that will keep the whole family coming back for more!

1. JUGGLER (1 player). It's an age-old skill with a new twist. But the object is the same - keep a ball of light going back and forth without "dropping" it.

2. WINDUP (2 players). Imagine you're trying to wrap a ball around a pole while your opponent is trying to do the same from the opposite direction - and you've got the idea behind this game of speed and timing.

3. ACCELERATOR (1 player). Boost the speed of a ball of light faster and faster and then "launch" it. If your timing is just right, your score will "soar"!

4. POUNCE (1 player). Discover the patterns of two rapidly-moving lights. Then stop them as quickly as possible - and stop them at the same time.

5. POUNCE (2 players). This 2-player version of POUNCE pits you against an opponent to find out who has the keener eye and the faster fingers.

Required, but not included, are 6 AA-size alkaline batteries OR an AC Adaptor. See enclosed rules for AC Adapter requirements.
