Simon Game

Over the weekend I saw my niece playing with a Simon Game. I didn't know they still were making them. Simon is a memory game that involved four big buttons. Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue were the color of the buttons and the object was to press back the combination that the game gives you. If you miss it makes that weird buzz fart sound. This is another game that when the batter fell out you would tape it to the back. The game was invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison. Simon is named for the simple children's game of Simon says, but the gameplay is based on Atari's unpopular Touch Me arcade game from 1974.
