Classic Simon rolls back the years in an electronic manner

classic-simonThere are some memories that seem so awesome back when you were a kid, but now that you are all grown up, it does seem to be rather lame. Of course, that would most probably be an exception more than the rule, and for most of us, our childhood memories are the best – and if one were to be able to relive those many years down the road, it’d be even better. I am quite sure that most, if not all of us, would have played the classic game known as Simon, although this time around, there is a 21st century update – to the second decade, too, in the form of the $24.99 Classic Simon.

It might be a simple looking toy, but do not be fooled by its capabilities, never mind that it can be simply mesmerizing thanks to its lovely and colorful form factor which will definitely maintain its appeal to the little ones (and your inner child). Basically, all you need to do is use your memory in order to follow the light and sound patterns, and you’re good to go, no? The beginning is always nice and slow, but once the Classic Simon game ups the ante in terms of its difficulty level, such as speeding up for 10, 15 or even 20 lights in a row, you might end up cussing unintentionally in front of your kids. This electronic game will run on a trio of AA batteries.

Playable Simon Belt Buckle: Simon Says Keep Your Pants on

Any kid from the 80′s knows Simon. The game with colorful lights that tests your brain. Now you can wear it as a fashion accessory. This belt buckle was created by If Industries and is entirely playable.

If this inspires you to make one yourself, it isn’t very difficult. You will basically be mounting the pocket-size version of the game on a round belt buckle. Once you do that you will be able to follow Simon’s lead no matter where you are. And you will have a nice colorful crotch accessory.

I think it would go well with a glowing Tetris inspired zipper myself. Would you wear something this geeky?
