You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

| Deleted User | Red lights are cool. Blinking red lights are even cooler.
Can you turn it on and off? Put in a new battery?
I don't remember what the thingy looked like, I probably threw it away.
PS: Tall buildings have red lights in the US? Why is that?

Status : Online | I remember when that game first came out when I worked at a books/music/video/software store. We had two rows of them displayed side-by-side (maybe six or eight copies) and they made a fun-looking crazy random blinking pattern.
(Well, at least a couple other employees in the store besides me thought it was cool... )

Status : Online | I have the box in my hands right now and the puzzle is "How the hell am I supposed to change the two batteries"? I don't think there is a way to change them.

To minimize the risk of airplanes crashing into them.

On topic: The red light on my Overseer box died years ago - but yes, I thought it was cool while it lasted.

Access Explains the Enigmatic LED Contraption
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 31, 2005 -- Contrary to popular belief, there is no puzzle in the LED contraption within the box. Please DO NOT open your contraption. With regards to the batteries, we didn't even put batteries in there so that we aren't even sure how the darn thing works.

Status : Online | The light on my Overseer box still works. There's an on/off switch (under a red sticker that says PRESS ON/OFF). There are two batteries (the kind used in watches, probably lithium, I can't see the exact type) but although they don't seem to be soldered on, they would be pretty difficult to replace. So Val is spot on - I'm pretty sure replacement batteries wouldn't be hard to find, but actually replacing them would probably be non-trivial. Then again, the contraption doesn't seem to be glued on so terribly well and it might be possible to take it out of the box. I'm not gonna try with mine
I don't know if all Overseer boxes had the exact same contraption in them.
I forgot my sig.

| Deleted User | Well, thanks for enlightening me, everybody! (pun intended)
Anybody wants to give me their blinking Overseer box?
No? Guess not. :'(
