Never thought of Simon as "fast and furious"...times have really changed.

You might think your parents eventually grew annoyed by the tones that thing emitted. I'm sure they found it comforting because they knew exactly where you were and what the hell you were doing! 😆

My parents still bring up the hours of sonic the hedgehog music I subjected them too. But my mom said similar, at least she knew I wasn't getting into trouble while she was in the other room. Sonic games held my interest completely.

You get far enough and it’s plenty fast and furious.

Still have mine! Think it was around ‘78 and we found it in the fire place (like Santa dropped it or something). We only get it out at the holidays… so thanks for the reminder!

I cheated at Simon once by marking the colors down on a paper with crayon and eventually I must have caused a memory overflow or something because it lost its mind and started flashing randomly until I shut it off …

Do you recall how many colors it was? 64? 256?

I don't remember how many steps it took to make Simon lose its mind but I would be really surprised if it was 256. I don't think I could have held my own focus that long without screwing up the sequence! 😁 64 seems like a possibility though.

I kicked ass at Simon. Used to make my older brother so mad. In later years when my daughter had one of those Bop It things I found I still had it. It’s crazy and kind of addictive.

One of my great achievements in life was clocking this thing - max 32 sequence if I remember correctly. No cheating, just me. Super proud.

I saw a new one at Target this week. I was surprised how much smaller it is and how flimsy it felt.

Does anyone else remember the simon-like game at Little Caesar's that would let you win a pizza if you got to a certain level? In high school, my super smart friend ended up getting banned because she could basically beat it every time.
