Simon (game)
''Simon'' is an electronic game of memory skill invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison, with software programming by Lenny Cope, The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley but now the game is currently manufactured by Hasbro. Much of the assembly language was written by Dr. Charles Kapps, who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming. ''Simon'' was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s.
==History==
Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison 〔 were first introduced to Atari’s game ''Touch Me'' at the Music Operators of America (MOA) trade show in 1976.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Simon Turns 30 )〕 Baer said of the product, “Nice gameplay. Terrible execution. Visually boring. Miserable, rasping sounds.”〔 The original prototype, built by Baer, included the Texas Instruments TMS 1000 microprocessor chip, which was low cost and used by many games of the 1970s. Lenny Cope,〔 who was one of Ralph H. Baer’s partners, worked on the programming code for the core of the game, titled ''Follow Me'' at the time. Baer developed the tones of the game, inspired by the notes of a bugle. It was when they pitched the demo, an 8-inch-by-8-inch console, to the Milton Bradley Company that the name of the game was changed to ''Simon''. Simon debuted in 1978 at the cost of $24.95 () and became one of the top selling toys that Christmas.〔
In 2013, Hasbro re-invented Simon once again with ''Simon Swipe''. The game was demonstrated at New York Toy Fair 2014 and was released in the Summer as planned.〔http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/playtime-in-new-york/13/ New York Toy Fair Simon Swipe〕 The game is a circle that looks like a steering wheel. It has been extended from four buttons to eight touchscreen buttons which are flattened out on the unit.〔http://www.hasbro.com/common/documents/3f4e2ca0206011ddbd0b0800200c9a66/775DC78D50569047F5D946E20DC30727.pdf Hasbro 2014 Simon Swipe Instructions〕 The game feature four game modes which are called Levels, Classic, Party and Extreme. Levels is the main game of Simon Swipe. The player has to go through all sixteen levels to beat the game. Classic, Party and Extreme levels focus on one pattern getting longer and longer until the player is out. A smaller version of the game called ''Simon Micro Series'' was introduced in 2015. This version has only two game modes called Solo and Pass It and features 14 levels and four buttons.
