Description

Exceedingly rare The Music Machine video game cartridge released for the Atari 2600 in 1983. Developed by Christian Software and published by HomeComputer Software and Sparrow, the game was only sold in Christian bookstores and is considered to be the world's first religious video game. The Music Machine is rated with a 10 (Unbelievably Rare) on the website AtariAge. In fine, untested condition.

‘Based on a record of the same name released in 1977, The Music Machine puts a religious spin on Kaboom! and was sold only in Christian bookstores. Players must maneuver Steve and Nancy along the bottom of the screen as they try to catch symbols in their basket that represent character-building qualities called ‘The Fruit of the Spirit.’ These qualities include love, patience, gentleness, faith, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, and self-control, and are represented by harps, lambs, angels, and hearts. The villainous Mr. Pims will try and stop Steve and Nancy by hurling creatures called ‘Pudgeons’ toward their basket. Catching a Pudgeon or missing a heart will remove one basket, but bonus baskets can be earned every 10,000 points.’
