Odyssey Commercial Music

[Devin]

Hello all,

 

I have a weird request for anyone with music talent.

 

There is an old commercial for the 1973 Magnavox Odyssey with a rather light and happy melody in the background.

 

 

Can anyone write out the notes which are being played? Any format will do, I am familiar with the QBasic play statement which puts numbers after each note to designate its length. For instance, "C4" means a quarter C and "A16" is a 16th A.

 

Cheers.

What I find funny in the commercial is how almost every screen has the same picture of the dot moving across.. how exciting.. then they mention look up your Magnavox dealer in the yellow pages. Hardly anyone uses yellow pages anymore. I remember when "amusement places" had arcades listed.

In its defense, the designers were quite clever with tthe overlays.

 

The Angry Video Game Nerd did a review of the system:
