Remember Simon? No, not your slightly weird neighbour who you used to see down the shops wearing no shoes. We're talking about that memory game you used to play - the one integrated into a black plastic disc that's edged with the coloured lights. Remember?

Despite barely changing over the course of decades, Simon has just undergone a modern makeover. Simon's got some new shoes.

Toy manufacturer Hasbro recently introduced the updated Simon. Called Simon Air, modern Simon asks you to hover your hand over the coloured lights instead of giving them a good slapping.

Its new ring design sees three colours on the outside and one sitting on the bottom of the device, on the inside of the ring. 

While it might seem like the lack of touch takes something away from the game, the light sequences now have the potential to be even more difficult in the later stages.

There's also a new two-player mode where you and a friend can try to synchronise and remember sequences without giving each other an awkward fist-bump.

Failing that, there's always the classic Simon you remember - but you have to make sure it's at least sat on a stable surface, so probably not the best bet for long car journeys.

Simon Air is expected to come out this winter for ages 8 and up, and will cost $19.99 (around £14 in UK money).
