    It took me a couple tries to figure out the secret, but I got 91% (1 missed swat) in 35 seconds.

    I'm not very good at it. 32 % was my best after about 4 or 5 tries. I haven't been playing any video games in years though.
    Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.

    Re: Redneck Playstation

    There is a trick to it, because prior to the 91%, my best score had been 27%. In the game where I figured out the trick, my score was 24%, while the next game was 91%.

    I believe that somebody with twitchier hands can beat my time pretty handily.

    Okay, your score is based on your time, not your batting average. Score down below about 33 sec and your score is Decent. Score 35 sec and your score is Pretty Good.

    Actually, that is only part of it. You basically put the cursor in the direction that the fly is crawling, then move it slowly towards the fly (or let the fly move to you) and swat when the cursor changes. The cursor change doesn't seem to be an indication if you come up from behind the fly.

    Apparently times below 30 are Great. There is probably another category below 25.

    Re: Redneck Playstation

    I did better using your first secret. I got pretty good at 35 seconds with 44 % accuracy. The second part of your secret I don't have down. Often when the cursor changes to a hand I fire and the fly moves away at that instant and I miss.

    And I wasted all that money on an Xbox.
