Changes between the Name That Tune CD-i game and the show's run in 1984 and 1985:

  1. Naturally, the host and announcer.

  2. Up to four people can play.

  3. The game is 90% based on telling the game whether you were correct or incorrect.

  4. No Melody Roulette or Tune Topics.  The first two rounds are similar games where four categories are listed, each with four spaces.  Behind each space is a point amount.  Behind one space in each row is a bonus square, worth extra points.

  5. Bid-a-Note is replaced with the similar Note-for-Note.

  6. The Golden Medley is replaced with a game where you must match up a song with the picture of that song's artist.
     

There are no names in this game.  Players are identified by color.

There's the bonus!

After round 1, your score is...not that much.

The second round is like the first except more points are at stake and the point amount decreases after the time starts.

Are we playing To Tell the Truth or Name That Tune?

The Note-for-Note round.  If you can name that tune with one note, you get 700 points.  For each additional note, the point total drops by 100.  Also, if you're wrong in this round, you lose the points.

4 notes, 400 points at stake.

The high scorer advances to the final round.  How many songs can you match to its artist in 30 seconds?

Get a right answer and you continue.  Get one wrong and the game is over.

Three right is not bad at all.  Each match is worth 500 points.  Those 1500 points will boost your score significantly.

If you get a high score, you can enter your initials into the game for eternity...or until you reset the CD-i's memory.
