Radio Shack Game Help Please!

[veiledturnip]

Hi! I just bought this really old game - it is a square box that fits in your palm. It ahs 4 buttons and 4 lights near each. It's supposed be a game where I suppose you follow the sequence but I can't understand how it works. When I turn it on each light lights up in sequence and plays a different tone and then it just continues doing so.

I have tried following along with the sequence but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to play this game?

It's not simon - I just found on it the words "pocket repeat". I have tried to follow along to the rules of simon but am still struggling. Will keep on persisting. Sorry about the "old" comment. It looks pretty ancient to me!!

Hi all. Thank you for your help. I found the problem. One of the buttons doesn't work which in essence means the game is useless. I pulled it apart but then had no idea what do from there so put it back together again! Ah well. 50c wasn't too much to lose!

Pocket Repeat (600-2482) Operation

Turning the Pocket Repeat ON/OFF
Set the ON/OFF to ON to turn on the Pocket Repeat.

Watch for each red light to blink and listen for the different tones. Now, you can play a game.

NOTE: If you do not press any button within about 15 seconds, the lights blink and the tones sound every 10 seconds.
Set the ON/OFF to OFF to turn off the Pocket Repeat at any time.
