🎉 So cool! Love seeing Lego Lines in English! No offense to other languages of course, I just can't read French or German 😭.

Now I am curious, the Interface A was also supported by other systems, what if I try to code in basic or pascal or run another emulator inside Dosbox  ?

ApplePC was an emulator for DOS, if you want to try.

That would be amazing to have multi machines interface A support through Dosbox but I am not sure If that would work, I ordered a TC connect I will try as soon as I receive it.

That mean it is possible to use this feature to talk to the interface A ?

Hi Evan,

totally cool! I really like it - that will be going to a show, won't it? People will sure have fun with it!

Best wishes

Thanks! Yes, I'm bringing it to Brickfair Baltimore, August 15-16.

The real Simon game was very popular here in the US. I have no idea if anyone heard of it in Europe.

Each square has four wires: a touch sensor and three lights chained together. There are nine lights total per square. There are also two touch sensors under the restart button, sharing ports on one of the 9750 with the green and red squares.

There are a couple of hundred lines of my spaghetti code. :)
