  1. 8. VIP DEFLECTION
  2. In the VIP Deflection game you position mirrors anywhere on the display screen.
  3. The object of the game is to deflect a ball of the mirrors a maximum number of
  4. times before hitting the target.
  5. The number of deflections times the target number gives you deflection points.
  6. These are added to your previous point total. If you fail to hit the target you
  7. get no points. The winner of the game is the player who accumulates 257 or
  8. more deflected points.
