Card No. 2: Ski + Simon Says + Fun Zoo + Percepts © 1972 Magnavox Co., The.

Ski: the player must follow a line that simulates a snow course without going out of bounds, suffering penalty points if he/she does.

Simon Says: one player holds a deck of cards (provided with the game) with depictions of several body parts and must then indicate them to the other players by saying something like "Simon says... touch your right hand". The other players will then rush to the specified place as quickly as possible, the winner being the one to touch the most body parts before his/her opponent.

Fun Zoo: The Zoo Keeper picks up one of the 28 included cards and names the animal or object it depicts. The players now need to navigate the player spot along the yellow paths to the cage containing the animal or object the Zoo Keeper named, in order to win that card. Straying from the path and lighting a wrong cage means losing one of the previously earned cards.

Percepts: With the help of screen overlays, 30 play cards (15 green + 15 purple) one or more people could play two kind of memory games.

TRIVIA

Released in May 1972.

The accessoiries of Ski and Simon Says came with the system, those for Fun Zoo were made available for purchase later that year.
