Shot97 | Milton Bradley's Simon - Unnecessary Surgery @Shot97 | Uploaded July 2016 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
We dissect the 1978 Milton Bradley classic Simon in this episode of Unnecessary Surgery. The buttons were feeling stiff, the battery contacts had oxidized, and age has caused its original luster to fade. Here I have some fun taking the game apart, looking at what's inside, and hopefully fixing those issues.
There is a separate Retro Goodness full review of Simon where I unbox it from its original box, take a look at the box contents, and play through every mode of Simon with my memories along the way. Link here: youtu.be/bli5PUMbs6Q
