Games You Don't Play #5: Miracle Piano Teaching System (NES)

[kemo741]

I still have this game. I went on to study Music Theory and Composition because of this game. Who would've thought...

[Voltor07]

Supposedly, the game is easier to find than the keyboard. Just bought the keyboard on e-bay for 40 bucks with shipping. Definitely easier to find than an NES.

[kornypony]

this is more like torture than a game..

[chesbrough]

you're adorable :)

[1BadMother]

I have that game but no keyboard. :-( But how hard can it be???

[YoungBeastYB007]

that games is rare or something?

[DemonKingMMA]

I remember AVGN reviewing this Miracle Piano I believe the words of my friend were: "It will be a Miracle if I get this shit to work!"

[jamak42]

Has anyone developed a composer program for NES that uses this keyboard?

[Shnabubula]

I learned to play on that thing 19 years ago. i'd love to have it now. There was an original song called "technotron" that was pretty cool. I skipped all the lessons and just went to demo mode where it plays songs for you and you can watch the keys...that's the best way to use it

[kemo741]

@Shnabubula omg technotron was me and my brother's favorite song.

[DURAMATRIX112]

wow i saw this game at goodwill but no piano :/

[saintjason]

I picked a mint keyboard from goodwill tonight. It didn't come with the software, but it does work. I'm gonna have to scour the earth to get the other things to go with it. I subscribed :)

[cataract]

It's funny that you brought up Digital Press in the video. I work at their store and we got a complete boxed version of this traded in yesterday!

[samtron5000]

@cataract I've never actually been to Digital Press but their rarity guides are top of the line, standard. Must be so fun to work there eh? :D

[Evolvingmom]

is the disclaimer a joke?

[coopercraft]

I worked for SW Toolworks and supported the miracle piano teaching system when it was sold new. Liked your review ;)

[siddububba]

i have this keyboard, and i never knew it was for a game xD my sister just plays it

[daavpuke]

hot stuff.

Game isn't bad either.

[Kzierbold]

@daavpuke Oh u.

[smileuronfire]

I want that piano!!!

[coollein]

You make good videos, but I don't think you would beat me in piano =)

[Instrumentals4Sale]

Wow, you actually 'play' the game?

7:42ish :D

[stevieVantanna]

It's not a good idea because it uses numbers instead of notes.

[wado1942]

Yeah, because learning to read is for losers!

[stevieVantanna]

how much did you pay for it?

[sonicfangamer2]

on your bed, IS THAT A TOGEPI I SEE?

[MerlinofChaos]

@sonicfangamer2

LOL :P

[noahmart]

But I hate mario is missing

[felipeROCKZ]

[Sigma5656]

You play the game it never play and AVGN play the game is not good idea to play for Frustation !!!

[yoshi314]

@Sigma5656 i wish samtron5000 would do one AVGN-like episode on some random obscure crappy game herself ;)

that would be way too hilarious.

[Norway2011]

really wish that i could try that thing out. seems like a pretty good idea, and just has a weirdly aesthetically pleasing touch to it.

[MrNaku45]

fuck im sick of all u pervs wanting to fuck her!!!

[kyledared]

5 inch floppys, lol

[Tidermans]

Wait... A hawt girl playing NES? seems like a trap to me

[TheTaxRefund]

It's a TRAP!!!

[Retrospectives]

This game made me the piano virtuoso that I am today.

[ElCapoUnico]

LOL

I love when the sarcasm kicks in.

[07mcnallyl]

i was gonna play the piano but i said screw it and now i play bass its a lot more straight forward and easier than piano

[KCHedgehog]

[stephensamperi]

[EarlFaulk]

Given how rare this thing is I wonder how much it cost for the whole package?

[Aelphaeis]

Damn, when you think about it you realize just what crazy peripherals the NES had, not even the Wii has peripherals like that.

[soundenvision]

It was all about RoboMan!

[vampirekiller777000]

Mario is Missing has to be in my top 5 most HATED games OF ALL TIME.

[spoungywizard]

not sure it's a "game" really, I always thought of it as a horrid lie that needed to be forgotten.

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

omg your beautiful will you marry me:-) ?

[alef321]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ,another one \o/

[11ASC]

1:14 A GUITAR FROM GUITAR HERO XD!!!

[elsapoguapo]

[fieryfrets2000]

[tomalito]

[syk0freek]

[MoRmOr2k4]

[illuminadi]

I'd so kick ya ass on the miracle piano.

[WillSerenity]

=O Sailor Moon poster?!?! <3333

Nice video, too ! Lugging that thing around must have been a pain, hehe

[Lucy1sDrowning]

she's so cool! I love her!

[Mercury144]

No way, you have a Sailor Moon poster, awesome!

[KyberArTz]

rofl...i wouldn't have the patience ..i would like kill it lol

[DarkStarFox]

"Back in the day, this is what we used; 5 inch floppies."

That's what she said.

Sorry. It was there and I had to take it.

[DarkStarFox]

I sense disdain in your post there my friend. What, is 5 inches enough to induce envy and jealousy? Well, no need to worry, there's lots of keen products out there, like Enzyte, to help you with your problem.

You know what else? Why am I even arguing with some loser on a video site and it's not even my video? Grow up junior, enjoy the review. ^_^

[SmallTimeNinja333]

sailor moon poster = awesome

[link99999107]

STARMAN PILLOW!!!! I just noticed that.

And, I COULD KICK YOUR ASS ANY DAY AT THE PIANO!...I can play Jaws....XDD

[My1freind]

you are just a fucken fag

[ijskoman007]

You have a generation Nex? Nice ;)

Good review by the way

[SUPERCAMPEONA]

u know much about video games thats good

[geekchum]

We are cheap and hard working

[usedcarparts]

You are the most gorgeous nerd I've ever seen. Not saying that as an insult though, everyone can be a bit nerdy sometimes but that doesn't mean they're not attractive. You're like the angry Nintendo fan except you're nice unlike him, he's an asshole. I bet he'd go head over heels if he ever came across one of your videos. Anyway nice vid, looking forward to some more reviews.

[My1freind]

go get a life you also need to go get laid and stop trying to find love on youtube its not a dating site its a video site to view videos not to be a perv

[usedcarparts]

Did I seem like I'm trying to get laid or find love on the internet? I was just giving her a complement that's all. I was just being nice, sorry if that bothered you in any way. I wouldn't even see a point in trying to develop an internet relationship and she probably has a boyfriend anyway. Maybe if I said "oh wow you're gorgeous how bout you write me and we can make some sort of arrangement or I would like to see you naked" then you can call me a perv but I didn't say anything-

[usedcarparts]

That would label me as a pervert. You need to work on not making assumptions about people specially strangers you don't even know on the internet. Now how about stop being a little prick and leave everyone on here alone. If don't have anything reasonable to say or talk about then don't even bother commenting or reply to anyone's comment because you just make yourself look like an idiot.

[My1freind]

ever heard of sarcasm?

[alef321]

i agree(?) with you =_=

[flappydog]

i agree with u and my1freind stop being an irritating negative comment dude

[My1freind]

ever heard of sarcasm?

[MyDixieWrecked]

I think you're pretty sweet!

[underverser]

The intro sounds very indoctrinatable :P

[emosarecunts]

i see guitar hero remote :L

[Janglez311]

lol awsome

[90786jiop]

I CHALLENGE YOU SAMTRON, TO A PIANO BATTLE >:O

On a random note, I actually bought it from eBay, because I was looking for random Piano metronomes, and I see that, so I get it. Anyways, good review :O.

[darktux000007]

is beatifull woman

i love you

[RnJGunz]

lol floppy disk xD like 5 mb of storage, i think o.o

most computers these days don't even take floppy disk O_O

[dale456654]

1.4 Megabytes :P or was that the size.... anyway....

[Lacktardo]

sweet ^_^

[partylikepacman]

Ha ha, guitar hero 1990 version!!

[Skylinesandsunsets]

The difference is Miracle piano teaches you how to play a real musical instrument. Guitar hero is just a game, where you play with a controller that resembles a guitar.

[sumguy15]

lol why does every person who watchs a video with a good looking girl in it only watch it for that.... im watching cause i like the reviews

[maniacdeadboy]

yer perdy.NOT SARCASM

[fieryfrets2000]

[valpster]

Nice video... At least I know about this NES game :)

[XIIISmokeyXIII]

WOW, THIS GAME LOOKS SO BORING

[deloreansrock]

How much did that cost?

[rabendranath]

wow!!! guitar hero SG at 1:15!!

[METROIDFAN258]

I used to use those disks in a classroom where the teacher wanted us to experience older technology. It took forever to do things and I remember when my friends and I got so excited after shooting our first deer in Oregon Trail.

[tmpus23]

she is like the angry video game nerd, but she´s cute, and nice, and a woman.

[cman011]

its PIANO HERO wewt

[VanillaFejz]

Yea, Mario is missing is..........sweet. humm.

[DJrunn3r]

Wow Roboman creeped me out too.

[sooperpuper]

I don't know about your other videos yet (though the Earthbound review was quite nice), but at least in this one your attempt to jokingly act all tough and cocky just came off very clumsy and unrehearsed. I suppose it feels natural if you just think of what to say as you go but keep it mind it can make your videos awkward and uninteresting. Overall a worthy look at the past, though.

[sooperpuper]

Ah yes, 'Mario is Missing.' The dawn of weegee!

[tigerman337]

no i dont

[gdashred]

I remember using this thing in my tech class in the 8th grade

[Rubberman202]

Hey, the AVGN mentioned this thing in his NES Accessories review!

[GforGaz]

P.s i want those floppy disc's for my commodor 64

[GforGaz]

ode to joy was my first song on electric guitar haha good job

[ShimmySystem]

I bet it's better than a casio

[GeoCloaking]

only needed show the Duck Hunt Miracle Piano Game.

Nice video, it help me know a little more the old titles.

[jadesoul]

yeah im a cheater i numberd the key with a marker' and im sorry i know this immature but 5inch flopy

[dj2bklyn]

shes got balls lol

[gutchman84]

hey samtron5000, I remember the Miracle Piano Teaching System cause I used to have it when I had an NES. Here's part of 3 oops chalkboard screens I used to find funny: "We could write a new piece using just the notes you missed!" There's another one that said "Good. Let's try that lesson again. Let's try it again." Why would it say that? Finally, I think there were times that the Miracle would demonstrate the piece when you screwed up constantly on one lesson.

[gutchman84]

i still have the keyboard and NES cartridge

[samwel21]

yes!!!!

[hackoshama]

Hmm... looks fun.

Also, you're a nerd.

consider it a praise or insult x)

[thebest707]

the superflyest, most awesomest nerd ever to you =p

[gijoefan1985]

Ever notice that on the cover of chessmaster, the old guy looks like he is asleep? I saw a picture of the Miracle Piano Teaching System game in a magazine once, but have never seen it up close before; and never knew it actually came with a piano.

[v1ru5911]

I actually do remember Mario Is Missing, though not from owning the game, more of from accidently downloading it. Yeah, I...still don't know what you're supposed to do in it.

[jeronimojumper]

lmao, I found a 5 " floppy at work last year and asked the IT guy if he had a drive that I could use because I really needed to use the software, we went nuts trying to find one, we all had a good laugh.

[ssreshta]

hahahahahh this is so impractical.

[BoggeBoggesen]

Zero9teen used to be my favorite Youtuber, but now it's you. Eyecandy and interesting, sweet combo. "Floppy discs" i laughed at that. xD

[akyo777]

"hey i'm really good at this game!" hah

[malnin]

i noticed a togapi doll on your bed do you play pokemon?

[cabvej]

ho, I like buy one.

[ianharwood]

"Five inch floppies..."

*looks away thinking about a penis joke*

[Bluefoxking]

MIRACLE PENIS! HAHAHAHAHA=D(Sorry, had to say it). Okay, that is one of THE most obscurest games ever. What videogame graveyard did you pull THAT out of. The funny thing is that this was the shit back in it's day. Today's learning keyboards are so much more advanced than that, but that is an awesome find. Super rare. Lol at the big ass floppies(Commander Keen anyone). That truly is a game I don't play. Your doing an awesome job(no sarcasm). Keep up the Great vids.

[DoubleKill]

wow thats crazy. i wonder if angry video game nerd has that. he has everything hahah

[zawvneey]

I remember when i was 6, getting my first computer (windows 3.1 FTW) having about 35 5" floppy disk games, one was even a cook book :D good times, good times.... I loved those games.. I wish I could remember the names of them :( I remember one, Crystals and Caves.. OMFG JUST FOUND A VIDEO FOR IT!!! TY FOR MAKING ME REMEMBER! I LOVE YOUUUUU!!1 TY!

[RosesBlack]

I see guitar hero guitar!!! lol, I like your hair btw Samtron. =P

Your new fan,

RosesBlack

[levezinho]

[splitsite]

[premiergroupinvest]

What store are they selling this at? I need one for my collection

[rikardit0]

i think you should review super robot wars for ps1 i had it a long time ago(japanese or chinese i dont really know)but is one of the best strategy games i ve ever played :)peace

[takanorius]

Wikipedia just told me that it was sold for $500 at the time, which means the price tag would be around $1000 in today's console price standard.

How much are you sellin it for at your store?

[samtron5000]

OMG hay Takanori haven't heard from you in a while.. It doesn't sell for th at much, lol. We have it priced at $200 but that may be a bit high. I don't think it is, it's in pretty damn good condition.

[rikardit0]

please answer mi comments plz

[G7I9A1]

never give up samtron !!!^^

Brazil !!

[delfmeek]

5.25" floppy disks ruled....lol

wow, i remember this... cool find..

[truin91]

hahaha "Next time just don't talk, and just jump up and down in front of the camera...Plz no more talking..." what the fuck!?!hahaha creepy

anyway cool vid. What is the name of the song you used in the intro?

[rikardit0]

are those evas on top of your tv if they are let me know please!!!!!

[GreenskinChoppa]

this is first i have heard of this nes "game" thanks for sharing :)

[EarlThird]

Impressive obscurity, it seems you're certainly living up to the whole "Games You Don't Play" moniker.

Do you take requests?

[samtron5000]

If it's truly a game you don't play, I will consider it. :)

[MattTheSpratt]

Man, samtron. You don't just have too many gameses, but rare gameses! Where did you find the piano system?
