Simon Says is a memory and sequencing game that was released in 1972, becoming one of the first games in history for the Magnavox Odyssey video game system exclusively

It was created by Ralph Baer, an engineer and video game designer known as the "father of video games".

It was one of the first games of its kind and is based on the famous "Simon Says" game, in which players must repeat a sequence of colours and sounds in the correct order.

In this game, the Odyssey generated a random sequence of colours and sounds, and players had to repeat it using the system's controls.

If they repeated the sequence correctly, they advanced to the next level with a longer and more challenging sequence.

Simon Says for Magnavox Odyssey was a simple but addictive game that offered hours of fun for gamers at the time.

Although the graphics and sound were fairly primitive, the gameplay and challenge were what really mattered.
