I tried simon says, played free so I cant submit my score or compete for the prize, but I scored 16, just 2 under the current high score.
I love simon says. My best scores I wrote down the pattern. The problem is writing/typing before the timer runs out.
I don't need the timer, I just use sound color coordination. The process is similar to photographic memory, but not as accurate. It allows me to gain a high score, but only after a certain amount of tries. If I were to go at it again, I could probably score higher. I consider writing it down cheating, and I am guessing the creator of the flash game does too, hence why there is a timer.
Maybe I'm just in denial but I don't really consider it cheating. The timer *does* exist so writing it down and repeating it is a skill/challenge in itself. I still have to remember the color, pattern, and "melody" if I want to get a respectable score. 3 minutes goes by quick.
