About this game

Grover's Music Maker

Ahh Grover... The scary Muppet. Well maybe it's just me, because some Atari executive saw it fit to give this furry blue demon his own 2600 game. Originally the star of Grover's Egg Catch (that's right, Grover's Egg Catch!), the starring role was quickly given to Big Bird after someone at Atari woke up and realized that Grover had nothing to do with eggs and giant yellow bird might be a better choice (then again maybe Grover does lay eggs?). After being booted from the egg catch, Grover was given the music maker gig (displacing one very upset monkey). For you see Grover's Music Maker was originally called Monkey Music and featured a dancing monkey instead of the jumping blue hairball you see today. What does Grover have to do with music you ask? About as much as a dancing monkey does...
