Brilliant game. You could round up all the swotty kids and make them play it while you walked behind with a bat. Then when the first one made a mistake you'd hit him with the bat as a warning to the others. This could go on all day
Yes, I also noticed the inherent violent nature that was brought out by this game. We'd start out papping the pads to copy the sequence, and would end up whacking each other's hands to try to mess up the (more skilled) opponents, until we descended into playing rough-and-tumble on the carpet. Lesson? Simon=Carpetburn
Bright lights and sound...it never failed I was put into a hypnotique trance just watching! ha ha
This was THE toy of the year one Christmas. They couldn't be found ANYWHERE. I remember how excited I was that my parents found one.
We still have an original from the 70's with 1000's of hours I am sure . It still works and the kids pay with it on occasion. Its much better than the new remakes of it.
You can play this online.
I remember the Simon game and I loved it. I would like for you to bring it back.
