REFLEX POINT
This game was originally patterned from the TV show
ROBOTECH. It follows the same basic storyline as the
show with the Freedom Fighters trying to reach the Reflex
Point so they can destroy the evil Invid Prince. REFLEX with
its good graphics and sound is a game that seems like its been
compiled but in fact is written in basic. The only problem
that I encountered was that the key buffer can easily be
filled while in Battle Armor mode causing a lapse in response.
