Try Simple Simon. It so looks like the beeping game that you had to remember the things it went on and you had to repeat it.

I've done something like this before, where the spelling had to be bang on to get it correct - so play around with spaces, no spaces and think american spelling sometimes... might help! But sorry, can't name the toys you're after Sarah Beth.

No 29 is that game where you make a sequence of coloured pegs and the other person had to guess the sequence, but the name escapes me, I had the big version and the travel one shen we were kids

The Simon Says one is called My Simon

Oops! I posted that without looking at the quiz. That's not My Simon. My Simon was a round handheld game with four coloured buttons. It played a sequence and you had to play it back.
