Description

This game features the three Hasbro board games mentioned in the title. Each board game maintains the option of having the music and sound effects on or off.

Mouse Trap has players build a contraption and attempt to trap each other with it. Two to four players can play, and at least one if the players must be controlled by a person. Players are mice who navigate around the edge of the board; spaces can either let a player obtain or lose cheese (which can be used by him/her to move mice when the contraption is complete and he/she is on the "turn crank" space), allow a piece of the contraption to be added (if the space displays the number of players), move the player to a different space, start the finished contraption (around the end of the board), or do nothing (whether it is the safe space or a build space without showing the number of players). The contraption may run when one of the mice is on the cheese wheel at the end of the board while another mouse is on the space that starts the contraption; the mouse on the cheese wheel gets trapped and therefore eliminated. The last one standing wins.

Operation lets players take on medical roles to remove objects from a patient named Cavity Sam. One to four human players can play on either easy, medium, or hard mode. Each player can choose one of four human portraits to represent him/herself. "Classic", "speed," "skill," and "skill + speed" are the four modes available. In "classic," the player draws the top card from the deck, which states a certain job, whether it is "doctor" or "specialist." On the other side of the card is the object to remove from Cavity Sam, along with the cash reward. The player must choose to commit to the procedure if he/she is the only one playing; the player also has the choice to turn down the offer if there are multiple players. If the player succeeds, he/she gets paid the said amount and the item is removed from the game. If he/she touches the silver edges, the item stays and no profit is made. "Speed" has players remove objects in 15 seconds (which is really about 30 seconds); another possibility of operation failure, which is the time running down to 0, is featured in this mode. "Skill" has players remove an object with a hand that gets more shaky as it gets closer to the object. In single player games, the player wins when all items are removed; in multiplayer games, the player with the most money wins. High scores based on money made are also available.

Simon is a memorization game which has players repeat what is played by the machine itself. The pattern gets one additional button press for every next level. The game, which consists of four buttons, only allows one player to participate. Levels can be changed between one and four, which ranges from combinations of 8 to 14 to 20 to 31. The game is over when either the player messes up a pattern once or completes the level played on. High scores based on pattern levels are also available.
