Haha, he plays it better than me too, as well as a few other things (The Moonlight 3 and the Rondo! I could probably kill him at Fur Elise though! ;D )

Hey, what was the one that was playing between Arabesque and Fur Elise?

I think that was just a transition, though it doesn't fid the period.

Oh man! This gave me a great idea for a video game !   Wouldn't be a big seller, though, not enough people couild do it, BUT.......

You know those car race games like Ferarri challenge, with the curved screen that sort of gives a surround appearance?  Well, what if the screen was an orchestra playing.  And in the setup, after you've dumped a million quarters into the machine, you could pick your piano, and the orchestra conductor, and the concerto - see where this is going?

And the "game" would be a piano keyboard instead of a steerring wheel or gun, and after the concerto intro youwould have to come in on time playing the concerto - not to worry, the music would be displayed in front of you, moving along as you played with the orchestra.  And at the end you'd get a score.

Whaddya think?  Would I make millions?

Sounds like something I'd try to play and fail horribly at. Where can I sign up? lol. Seriously though, that does sound like fun. Don't know how many arcades would pick it up though. hmmmmm...

Let me pick the orchestra and the venue, and I'd buy a dozen.

Maybe the bonus round could be dueling pianos with Horowitz!

OMG, that would be such an awesome game!!!!!!!!! Yeah, dueling with Horowitz would be fun too for a bonus round. Make it like a head to head mode where you play a piece, then he has to play a better piece, and so on back and forth. Or you have to copy the other person's piece and improvise or something, and try to outdo each other. But anyway, just the original idea, that would be so cool! Please please please develop it. Please? I know it wouldn't be a big seller because not too many would be interested...but it'd be great for the odd few that would like it.

You should be able to choose the venue, orchestra & conductor, piano, and concerto. That would be so cool. I can see it, I really can. I can just imagine being at the "select" screen with a piano rotating around just like a car on one of those racing games. That would be amazing. Would anyone be willing to help develop this game? Come on guys, it'd be great!

I'd love to , but I've never deloped an arcade game before.  Probaly would have to put together a proposal and present it to a company that does that. Who makes the Ferarri challenge?  Sega?

Yes, but I'm not sure how popular it would be though. It would sure sell a few privately though to people like us. Who else is interested?
