Where Can I Order Simon Game From? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

isiahthomas · 12-12-2005, 03:37 PM

I was lookin for Simon electronic game in Toys R Us this past weekend to find it. I went to two Toys R Us stores and neither one had it. This game is very old. I know ya'll remember it because it came out when i was a kid. It had 4 colors on it which were red, green, yellow, blue. The colors would light up whenever Simon would say somethin and you had to hit one of the colors that lit up. That's how the game is played. I wanted it when i was a kid but i never got it. I'm trying to find it online so i can buy it for my brother as a christmas gift. I did some research about the game yesterday online and i found out it came out in 1978. I didn't know that. There's a new Simon game out called Simon 2 and there's also a new little handheld Simon game out now. My mom said she bought Simon for me when i was a kid but i don't remember seeing it. I remember all the toys i got for christmas when i was a kid and i definitely don't remember getting Simon.

try ebay.com... or amazon.com

I use to love that game, I would play it for hours at a time. I would give you mine, but I just got rid of it about a month ago, while cleaning out my garage. Like MsOrange said though, there's probably a bunch of them on Ebay.

Don't you have to have a credit card or a bank account to order stuff from Ebay?

You need a credit card to sell stuff, but most sellers give you the option to pay with a money order. Before I had a bank account, I use to buy stuff by money order from them all the time

I saw Simon at our local Meijer store. I would think that Walmart or Target would have it. Unless they have sold out.

I still have my original Pocket Simon I got when I was a kid (so you know it's old). That's one of my chilhood toys I managed to hang on to and keep in good condition.

I got my Simon for Christmas from my grandmother in 1979. I still have Merlin from 1978 and Master Merlin from 1982. I took them out of storage and they still worked after being packed away for years. I think I still have Quiz Wiz made by Coleco stored away someplace. I didn't even know they still made Simon.

Aw man, I wish I still had my Quiz Wiz. I used to love that thing.

I used to make up my own questions, making sure the correct A, B, C or D answer matched the answer for a particular numbered question and let others play to see if they'd answer my questions correctly. Just to have some questions that weren't included in the books.

my sister got me a pocket simon from Target a few years ago. They have a lot of games like Simon there.

isiahthomas · 12-17-2005, 02:48 PM

I'm bidding for Simon right now on Ebay. I wonder why it takes so long for me to win it. I wish i didn't have to bid against other people. I thought i could just buy the game.

Brian Damage · 12-17-2005, 02:53 PM

What's your name on ebay?

isiahthomas · 12-17-2005, 03:39 PM

Why you wanna know?

Brian Damage · 12-17-2005, 03:42 PM

Just curious

isiahthomas · 12-18-2005, 02:21 PM

Well i just got a email sent from Ebay and they told me i just got outbid. I'm not doing anymore bidding. I'll try to get the game later from somewhere else.
