The Music Machine is a unique Atari 2600 game where you play as Stevie and Nancy. The objective is to catch symbols representing good qualities, such as Fruits of the Spirit, which are dropped by The Music Machine from the top of the screen into your basket. Once you've caught one of each symbol, the heart (representing love) will come down, and you must catch it to end the round and progress to the next level. The game features various obstacles, including Mr. Pims' assistants, the Pudgeons, which will try to mess you up by dropping down from just under The Music Machine . Catching a Pudgeon will result in losing a life. The symbols and their representations are: Heart=Love, Snail=Patience, Lamb=Gentleness, Mustard Seed=Faith, Music Note=Joy, Harp=Peace, Gift=Kindness, Angel=Goodness, and Stop Sign=Self-control.
The points for each level vary, with the following rewards:
Level........................1......2.....3......4.......5......6.......7.......8........9......10
Catch symbol=........10...15....20....30.....40....50.....60.....70.......80.....90
