If you're worried about your lack of memory skills then Simon could help you recall those hidden powers you never knew you had.

Simon is very simply an illuminating colour touchpoad that plays sequences of flashing colours and then asks you to repeat the combination in exactly the right order. Using your stylus, you follow the patterns to the best of your ability. Of course, the harder the level, the faster the flashing lights.

There are three different modes - a two-player mode plus two levels divided between beginners and more advanced users. Note that on the advanced settings, the sequences can be so long and fast that only the best memories will have any chance of following them.

Simon is highly addictive from the moment you start. You'll wile away many hours trying to follow it whilst improving your memory at the same time - better than the average couch potato game.
