Ikinari Musician
1987
Ikinari Musician provides a piano-like keyboard, a treble clef on the staff to show note location, a 5-channel Backing track, 4 timbre choices, and controllers to manipulate common synthesizer parameters such as release and attack, LFO, etc. It also provides recording and play back function. The player has many choices of styles of the backing track, from popular styles such as Rock, Techno, and Jazz, to various ethnic flavors such as Bossa, Rio, Japan, India, Arabia, etc. The backing tracks representing the styles use familiar elements to make the game more accessible to the general audience. For example, in the Scotland style Cadence to Arms, a familiar bagpipes tune, is used. Most backing tracks loop around one or two chords, allowing an open improvisation on the main keyboard. Once the style is chosen, the main keyboard is masked in the way that only the scale that easily fits into the style is available, e.g. blues scale, pentatonic scale, etc. The keyboard is controlled by the UP-DOWN or LEFT-RIGHT d-padsJukebox

Brain Strainers
1984
Brain Strainers is a collection of two separate games/learning tools. The first game is "Follow The Leader" where a pattern is repeated using a 4-color circle. By keeping track of either the tones generated or the colors flashing, the player can copy the sequence to continue. Higher difficulties increase speed and allow only tone identification of sequences. Additionally it keeps track of your best number of correct identifications in a row. The second game is "Clef Climber" where the player is given a tone that corresponds to a certain musical note and must match the note being played. Lower difficulties provide a constant tone to refer to and visual help on the note being used. Higher difficulties provide a single playing of the tone and no visual help.Coco Notes

Charlie Brown's ABC's
1984
Charlie Brown's ABC's is a simple educational game designed for children ages 3-7. Featuring Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters, the game presents each of the 26 letters in the alphabet along with a brief animation to go along with it. Each animation has a different object that starts with the letter in question and one or more Peanuts characters interacting with it (such as Charlie Brown playing the guitar for the letter "G", or Snoopy dancing to music on the radio for "R"). Player's can select a letter and see the corresponding word and animation by pressing the letter on the keyboard, or the arrow keys can be used to cycle through each letter (forwards and backwards) in alphabetical order. The game package also included a set of activity cards which provided additional suggestions for parents or teachers to help kids learn the alphabet using the game.Music Construction Set

Melody Master

Melody Master is a fantastic cartridge that, when used in conjunction with your Vectrex light pen, introduces you to the exciting world of music. It allows you to compose your own melodies and even has the capability to play flute and piano harmony with rhythm sections of snare and cymbals. You can create your own electronic musical masterpiece and amaze your friends that this interactive cartridge in a quarter century old gaming system allowed you to compose it. There is also a tutorial program for those of us who are not musically inclined. The "Songman" teaches you to recognize notes and identify other concepts of musical notation. It is a true interactive educational and creative experience. In my opinion, the feel of this cartridge rates 9-10, controls 7-10, and overall 8-10. It is a fun software title to sink hours of creative fun into on your Vectrex.Off Your Rocker
