Tape 5: Music Composer + Yahtzee © 1980 WaveMakers
Music Composer
Awaken the musician in you. You graphically place notes on a music staff and once you have finished your masterpiece, you can play it back in all its glory with each note printing on the staff as it plays. You can also save each composition on tape to be played back later with just a flick of the handle and a pull of the trigger. (Uses joysticks)
Yahtzee
Based on the Milton Bradley game of the same name. If you ever have played the real game, you'll know what fun this one can be. No fussing with adding up score or keeping track of what combinations you have. If you have a full house, small straight, large straight, four of a kind, chance or Yahtzee, the computer knows and figures out your score. You even get bonuses like the real game. Five graphic dice for each play and two playing fields. You try to get the highest score determined by various combinations of the dice. One to four players, use separate hand controls.
The tape alo includes:
Memory Doodle
Allows you to draw a simple design on the screen. There is no way to 'pick up' the 'pen' that you're doodling with, but that's okay-- as it turns out that this isn't really a drawing program. The keyword here is 'memory'. When you squeeze the trigger button, the screen clears, and the design that you created is redrawn exactly as you drew it.
