About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to test your memory and reflexes with Super Simon, the souped-up version of the classic everyone knows! Released in 1979, this electronic little game brings fun for up to 4 players, with quick matches lasting about 10 minutes. Forget complexity; here, the goal is to repeat sequences of lights and sounds that get progressively longer and faster. There are 8 colorful buttons for you to press in the right order, and the challenge increases as you get it right.
Super Simon doesn't settle for just one thing: it comes with 5 different game modes! In the classic mode, you and your friends take turns to keep the ball rolling. There's a mode where each player is responsible for a color and has to press it at the right time, or that color gets eliminated. Another mode is total surprise, where Simon randomly decides who has to execute the next sequence. And if you think you've seen it all, there's a mode that focuses on the timing precision of the sequences, and another that's pure adrenaline, where you have to press the buttons as soon as they light up, without memorizing anything, just pure speed!
With 4 difficulty levels and 3 distinct speeds, Super Simon is perfect for those who enjoy a nostalgic and quick challenge, whether playing solo to beat your high score or as a team to see who has the best memory. It's the kind of game that entertains the whole family and doesn't take up much space on the shelf or the table.
