Product Description

Amazon.com Product Reviews (gift center)

Simon is an electronic game that seems simple at first, but don't be deceived. On top of the disc-shaped game are four colored lights, and all you have to do is copy a sequence of flashes and sounds by pressing the corresponding buttons. Easy? It is at first, but the sequence gets longer and longer every time it's your turn, stretching your memory and reflexes to their limit. Make a mistake and Simon rewards you with a rude buzzing noise. There are four levels of difficulty for a single player, and you can challenge your friends with three multiplayer games. You need four C batteries to play--and a dark room to lie down in after Simon makes your brain spin like a top.

I am 30 but I remmber getting this gift as a child! Its wonderfull,and I never got sick of it! Now I bought it for my kids its educational and fun! This toy Teaches reflex and critical thinking skills! In a world that directions are critical this is a must! The kids wont know they are being taught :) In the high tech world this is a toy that both teaches and gives light to the high tech! I strongly recomend it!

Truly think I drove my family insane with this one! Always dragging it around and trying desesperatly to follow its sequences. Great game which prompts you with sounds and colors, first slowly then in an accelerating pattern. Very good to improve one's memory and aimed at both visual and auditive memory. Simple, yet... Efficient!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun toy, but best played alone in a soundproof room, August 5, 1999

Don't bring this on a road trip - although the passengers will be endlessly entertained the driver will eventually snap and throw the batteries, the toy, or the offending passenger out the window. It's a fun and addictive game, but the incessant beeping will drive bystanders insane. Play it by yourself or disable the sound (which will make it much harder)
