For All The TOP GUN Wannabee's

Post by CLguy »

Here's a challenge... The object is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 22 seconds you are phenomenal. Reportedly, the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

Best out of five 18 seconds. I think the trick is to always go back to the middle. And with the way it keeps speeding up i don't think there is any way to go 2 minutes.

18 seconds too, 4 tries.. Every time got better, it seemed to do the same pattern, so you just fix/correct your mistake...

I keep playing..

If you have an old computer, or if you have a couple of programs already running, this game becomes much slower and easier.

I made it to 54 seconds on my mother-in-laws dialup on the third try. Very jerky and slow. Didn't really speed up. Thought I was THE MAN. Got home after some days off work and tried it on my high speed. I couldn't get past 20 seconds. I cried and gave up :oops:

So this tests candidates on how well they can manipulate a mouse. Well, I guess planes ARE getting more computerized these days. :roll:

Crap!@!!!$^&&&((!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope AC does not start using this to select pilots.

Somewhat addictive isnt it?

Oh yea. 21 sec after 4 tries. 0.02 sec after first try.

I thought I was the only one that used the word "Luddite" on a semi-regular basis. You've so infringed on my "thing". :x

Pistols at dawn, sir. :enforcer:

Actually, it's kind of nice to see someone else that understands the term. :lol:

That's easy. I'm at 425 seconds, and I'm still playing as I write this post (now that's multi tasking). You guys suck.
