Hasbro Gaming - Classic Simon

Tiger Electronics' Copy Cat in 1979, re-released with a transparent case in 1988 and using buzzers. The electronic memory game Simon was the invention of Ralph H. Baer, Howard J. Morrison and was programmed by Lenny Cope, and first saw the light of day in 1978. The game was manufactured by Milton Bradley. In 2013, Hasbro reinvented Simon once again with Simon Swipe. The game was demonstrated at the New York Toy Fair 2014 and released that summer. [7] The game is a circular unit that looks like a steering wheel. It has been extended from four buttons to eight touchscreen buttons, which are flattened out on the unit. [8] The game features four game modes, called "Levels" (the main game), "Classic", "Party" and "Extreme". The player has to go through all sixteen levels to beat the game. "Classic", "Party" and "Extreme" levels focus on one pattern getting longer and longer until the player is out. A smaller version of the game, called Simon Micro Series, was introduced in the fall of 2014. This version has only two game modes called "Solo" and "Pass It" and features 14 levels and four buttons. There is also a version of Simon created by Basic Fun known as the Touch Simon. This version has an LCD screen and plays melodies at specific parts of the game.

Simon Says

Although a video game in the classic sense of the phrase, Simon can be considered a true “classic” electronic game of its era. The marketing phrase behind the game was; Simon's a computer, Simon has a brain, you either do what Simon says or else go down the drain. The History of Simon: Pop Culture Icon In 2016, Hasbro launched the follow-up to Simon Swipe with Simon Air. The game was announced at a Hasbro press conference before the 2016 New York Toy Fair. This version of Simon uses motion sensors, similar to those in Mattel's Loopz line of games. The game has three game modes: "Solo", "Classic" and "Multiplayer". [9] A button-pressing version of Simon was also released in the US, with an aesthetic recalling that of the 1970s and 1980s models. Recently, Hasbro has released Simon Optix, a headset game with a motion sensor technology similar to Simon Air.
