Hey man, if you wanna improve your memory you should buy one of these:



It's a handheld little ditty. Playing and advancing at it is a really great way to build your cognitive ability.

this will help your short term visual memory and possibly cognitive processing speed to a small extent but it won't help you remember things in long term memory (which starts at about 30-60 seconds). it won't help you if you are trying to get better at remembering facts

i prefer bop it

[fuzzyroes]

bop it's funner as a 2 person game, whereas Simon's good for just lounging around on the couch by yourself, rocking out a few rounds during commercial breaks.

Yeah, it's helped me remember a lot of numbers and stuff like that so you're probably right. I think it serves as a good way of exercising the mind though. This little thing gets straight up difficult. It's a major fucking process to even attempt to "beat" the game.

I think actually that Disco King would really get a lot of fun out of it (if he hasn't already). Definitely seems up his alley as he's into puzzle games and shit.

My high scores something in the 50's which has taken me substantial times to get to and the ultimate high-score on the thing is 200(!!!!!). That to me seems crazy, but it's cool cause it always gives you a goal to set and to try and get better.

I got mine at half-price for 7 something... So I mean for 15 dollars this thing can provide a lot of hours of a straight up easy to comprehend challenge.
