The stress of short-term memory put to the test ear to the succession of notes, but the game itself has become an icon for the interaction, the colors and sounds, crudely electronic among musicians of that generation. The charm of electronic toys sound has not only involved overt band (Dat Politics), but also passionate, that in a hacking hardware and simulation tools have produced low-tech sounding able spartan, but with a renewed fascination with the ' object, the tiny car, or black box, capable of producing music. Returning to Simon should be noted the release of Simon Extreme , a freeware for mac os x licensed under Creative Commons , with code available to anyone who requests it. Produced by LumaCode, displays a faithful reproduction, plus more sound sets (including a trip-hop), customization of the speed of esecusione and the hi-score macro command, which is sent to the server software house constituting a collective ranking.
