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 Best Electronics is officially a distributer and the game remains unpublished (technically).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.

A) Old MacDonald Had a Farm
B) Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
C) Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush
D) Over the River and Through the Woods
E) Hush Little Baby
F) The Itsy Bitsy Spider
G) My Hat Has Three Corners
H) Skip To My Lou
I) Three Blind Mice
J) Hickory Dickory Dock
K) Do You Know the Muffin Man?
L) A-Tisket, A-Tasket
M) Go Tell Aunt Rhodie
N) Sur le pont d'Avignon (Over the bridge of Avignon)
O) I'm a Little Teapot
P) Go In and Out the Window
Q) This Old Man
