Memory Game

Retro Edition

 

 

SIMON the cult classic smash hit Electronic Memory Game from the 70s and 80s is back!

Get ready for fast-paced play with lights and sounds that challenge players memory with every sequence. To beat the SIMON game, players need to first observe the colour pattern sequence shown by SIMON and then repeat it by pressing the coloured buttons on the game unit in the same correct sequence.

It starts off at a rather steady pace, but the more you play, the more complicated the sequences become, building suspense with each turn. Count 1 point each time the green light flashes, and 10 points when all the lights flash at once.

The Simon game unit helps keep track of the highest score as players challenge friends or try to beat their own high score in solo play.

Features:

  • Repeat the Patterns: It's the exciting electronic game of lights and sounds! Players repeat random sequences of flashing lights by pressing the colored pads in the correct order
  • Suspense Builds: It starts off at a nice steady pace, but the light sequences get more and more complicated as the game continues
  • Classic Retro SIMON Gameplay: Watch, remember, and repeat! The electronic handheld Simon game presents an exciting challenge to repeat the patterns and advance to higher levels
  • Play Solo: Play the SIMON game with friends or play solo. Try to hit a new high score by completing the longest sequence possible without messing up
  • Fun Gift For Kids and Elderly Australians alike: The Simon game can make a fun birthday gift, a constructive way to stay occupied during Staycations and is increasingly becoming popular with older Australians as a way to keep minds active and sharpen cognitive skills. It's fast-paced, challenging, and so fun to play!

Brief Game History

Simon is an electronic game of memory skill invented by Ralph H Baer and Howard J Morrison, working for toy design firm Marvin Glass and Associates with software programming by Lenny Cope.

The device creates a series of tones and lights and requires a user to repeat the sequence. If the user succeeds, the series becomes progressively longer and more complex. Once the user fails or the time limit runs out, the game is over.

The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley and later by Hasbro after it took over Milton Bradley. Much of the assembly language code was written by Charles Kapps, who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming.

Simon was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s.
