Musician

Musician is cartridge number 31 in the official Magnavox/Philips line of games for the Philips Videopac. It came in a cardboard box roughly double the size of a standard Videopac game box, containing a keyboard overlay in the style of a piano keyboard; the cartridge, in a standard Videopac box with a single sheet where the manual would usually be; and a landscape format manual, over double the size of a standard game manual.

The purpose of the set is to turn the user’s Videopac into a musical keyboard. It supports recording and editing sequences of up to 81 notes, although there is no way to save apart from writing a composition down on music manuscript. In the manual there are the following pieces of sheet music:

• “Badinerie” (Bach)
• “Brother Jacob”
• “The Entertainer”
• “Eurovision Tune”
• “Happy Birthday to You”
• “Liebestraum” (Liszt)
• “Lightly Row”
• “Merrily We Roll Along”
• “Michael Row the Boat Ashore”
• “Mosocow Night”
• “Old McDonald Had a Farm”
• “This Old Man”
• “Three Young Drummers”
• “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”
