Mousetrap, Operation & Simon is a compilation game for the Game Boy Advance released in 2005, featuring a mix of classic board and electronic games. This collection combines three distinct games—Mousetrap, Operation, and Simon—each with its own gameplay style and objectives, offering varied experiences within a single cartridge.
In Mousetrap, the main objective is to build a mechanical contraption that captures the mouse, requiring players to strategize and time their moves carefully. Operation challenges players to remove specific ailments from a patient’s body without touching the metal edges, demanding steady hands and concentration. Simon tests memory skills by having players repeat increasingly complex sequences of lights and sounds. The pace varies across the games, from the thoughtful planning in Mousetrap to the quick reflexes needed in Operation and Simon.
A distinctive feature of this compilation is its integration of three different gameplay mechanics in one portable format. The unusual idea of combining a physical board game simulation, a dexterity-based challenge, and a memory game provides diverse entertainment options. This variety makes the title stand out by offering multiple ways to engage players using classic, recognizable games adapted for handheld play.
