anyone remember the "Composer" that was in the Mario Paint on the old NES.

 



They've got a PC based mod for it available here:

I remember going to my uncles house when I was 14 and he had this game for the NEW. I was supposed to sleep on the couch, but stayed up until the sun came up (nothing new), and played with the music composer all night.

looking back, that thing was waaaaay ahead of it's time. The way it laid out the music editing is basically how all digital recording software appear. I might be wrong, but I think this was way ahead of PC based music recording and think this layout and concept of drop in notes on scales could have set the stage for professional software today, especially when talking about sequencing and midi composing.
