Simon Game, 1978-1983
01
Artifact Overview
Milton Bradley introduced Simon in 1978. An electronic version of "Simon Says," the game challenged players to repeat a simple sequence by pressing large, colored buttons. Simon flashed and beeped its way into becoming one of the most popular electronic games of the 1970s and early 1980s. It also eased the way for public acceptance of computer-generated play.
