When starting a game Memtrainer starts playing with the first signal lighting one of the four buttons and signaling that it is his turn «CPC» on the display. It then gives the turn to the «YOU» player who must repeat it.
On each turn the computer displays the entire sequence from the beginning and will increment it by adding one more signal.
In our turn we must insert all the complete sequence existing up to now and in the same order.

REVIEWS
RETROPARLA
« If you had a good time with Simon as a child, this is your game.
On a graphic level, it is successful, being an almost exact replica and adding a landscape that ensures that everything is not as empty as it would have been on a black background.
The music that accompanies the menu is quite good, and during the game we have some sound effects that emulate the original game.
It would have been very interesting if it had a mode with two or more players, in which the turn was passed from one to the other, until one of them failed.
The detail of the table of maximum scores is also good and helps to produce healthy intra-family piques.«
XYPHOE:
«It’s very, very, very the best implementation of Simon I’ve seen on a computer. Great project. Great work.»
