KEYED-UP!¢BY RAYMOND CITAK¢¢AUGUST 1988 ANTIC SUPER DISK BONUS¢¢ Keyed-Up! is a music education¢game that teaches the relationship¢between sounds and key signatures¢(sharps or flats at the start of a¢composition) of various major and¢minor musical scales in the treble¢clef.¢¢XXX¢¢ On the first screen you will see¢several options available. Use the¢[OPTION] and [SELECT] keys to set the¢game level from 1 (easy) to 3¢(difficult). You can select major¢keys only, minor keys only, or both.¢A HELP screen, which you can switch¢on or off with the joystick button,¢explains the scoring and shows the¢key signatures for the scales. Press¢[START] when you are ready to play.¢Anytime you want to return to the¢title screen, press either [RESET] or¢[START].¢¢XXX¢¢ The game screen shows a fence¢along a highway. There are five¢strands of wire on the fence -- like¢the five lines of the musical staff.¢Between each fence post is a key¢signature. There are seven sections¢with one to seven sharps, seven¢sections with one to seven flats, and¢one blank section with no sharps or¢flats. A bird appears in flight¢above the fence and a letter¢(indicating the first note in the¢scale) appears at the lower center¢part of the screen.¢¢XXX¢¢ Using the joystick, land the bird¢on the section of fence that shows¢the correct key signature for the¢scale and note indicated.¢¢ If you land correctly, you gain¢points and a new scale will be¢played. If you land on the wrong¢section of fence, watch the birdie --¢the fence is electrified! Play¢continues for three minutes.¢¢XXX¢¢ You will have to listen carefully¢to the scale being played to see if¢you can tell the difference between¢the major and natural minor scales.¢Beginners should first play the major¢option, then the minor, to accustom¢their ears to the difference. (The¢third note of the scale is the best¢one to listen for.)¢¢XXX¢¢ To play, copy KEYEDUP.EXE to a¢disk which has been formatted with¢DOS 2 or 2.5. (Make sure the DOS.SYS¢file is on the disk, too!) Rename¢this copy of KEYEDUP.EXE to¢AUTORUN.SYS. Finally, turn off your¢Atari, make sure your KEYEDUP disk is¢in drive one, remove all cartridges¢(XL/XE owners should press [OPTION] )¢and turn on your Atari. KEYED-UP¢will load and run automatically.¢əəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəə
