Editor notes (2)
A prototype dated "12-29-82" was the basis of cartridge actually sold to customers by Best Electronic. Best Electronics is officially a distributer and the game remains unpublished (technically).
In addition to the a teaching mode games, there is a free play mode, and a name that song game mode (unequivocally a game).
The most complete prototype actually includes 20 songs. The final game was slated to include 26 (A-Z keys). An extremely impressive number for the humble VCS.
Developed as Monkey Music before the Sesame Street license was applied and the game was retitled.
The latest prototype is dated "1-18-83"
