Simon Hand Held

Buyer beware! I bought this in July 2004 and what came was the newer Hasbro version of this (the yellow weird-looking thing) and NOT the transparent looking MB original as in the picture. I was disappointed at first, but after I started playing this newer version for a while, I began to understand why they designed it this way. It's a little bigger than I'd expected or wanted, but it's this size in order for your hands to fit comfortably and not cramp. Also, the center button to start the game in the original is gone is replaced by a small dot-like start button, which was probably placed there in case your fingers missed the play buttons (which would cause you to screw up the game you were playing). The extra 1 inch border may increase the size in a less-than appealing way, but it makes for really easy play and less cramping. I still think they should've kept the old translucent casing, but yellow will do. I love how there are 3 types of games and 4 levels. The original 1-game, 2-3 level ones offer little variety and it's easy to master the first couple levels. This one's still a challenge to me. I've only had this for about a week now, so I don't know about durability yet. It seems well-made.

Well it's a nice little toy for memory. I just don't really get after it does a few that the lights just start going so freaking fast, that's its hard as hell to remember or even see what's being lite up when you get it over 10 plus! What's the freaking rush on that part! Other then that, its a fun little game I play once in a while! I just miss the original much more. This could have been done a little better to make it just a little more user friendly is all.

Works just like the old game I grew up with. It stops after about 8 rounds or so, but still fun. The average adult can probably beat it every time. But, it is still fun and great for kids or people that want to keep their minds sharp.

Simon is a classic game that is now small enough to pack on trips and short rides.

My grandson loved this game. It only took him a couple of attempts to figure it out. Should have bought it about six years ago for him, he's 11 now. He enjoyed playing with one or two other people. Good for memory and dexterity.

Warning - I ordered this item thinking I would get the one in the picture... but it turns out the picture is actually a "Simon 2"... make sure this is really the one you want.

This is great for keeping fit for us older kids. Rapid response time training is important. This toy does that. And if your grandkids stop over they can play with it too.

Very disappointed in the game so expensive and not worth the cost will not be likely to buy anything in this line again
