Here is my initial impressions of Google’s new browser.
The logo looks just like the game Simon by Milton Bradley.
Google’s logo for their hoop-dee-doo new browser.
What is this supposed to represent? A return of Milton Bradley? Hell, at least Milton Bradley has some fun and launched Simon at Studio 54.
I didn’t have a Simon, but Nancy’s sister did when we were dating. It didn’t really qualify has a hand-held game because you needed a hand or two. We would take it in the living room - her parents like to hang in the kitchen and record a long session of saved notes and then make out. I could use my hands.
I’ll get back to you with more developments on similarities between Google Chrome and Milton Bradley. Especially if I see something that looks like Battleship or Candyland.
Uncle Wiggley was one of my favorite games, also by Milton Bradley. Until I learned my brother was cheating so the game would end quicker.
My neighbor had Life and we would play that sometimes. I liked Monopoly better because I could swindle the neighbor kids out of their property easier.
I wonder if there is any life lesson to be learned from the games we play as a kid?

PS: when I see your URL: I always read Flight of These a Birds.
Not as bad as penisland.com (Pen Island)
I guess I don’t remember when Simon faded from popularity…but I’d guess that anyone 25 and over should remember it…so yeah, someone should have made the connection.
Flight of the seabirds is a line from a Grateful Dead song…you’re a boomer, you should know that1
hehehe Pen Island… hehehe
