Graphics~ Very simple graphics but it is just like all the other games (the ones I've seen on Vizzed). Your cursor is a plain pixelated black/clear square that blinks to let you know where you are typing, green background to provide a good contrast to see what is on the screen, and your usual plain lettering and numbers. But what makes this a 10 rating is that they replicated music qualities into the composition area of the game. The accuracy of the notes (You can tell the difference between an eighth note and a sixteenth note), the key signatures, and the diagram of a piano keyboard at the bottom of the screen was well displayed. All the other games of the Sega SC-3000 do have the exact same graphics (again of the ones on Vizzed) but this one has impressive pixel accuracy.

Sound~ They put 2 different ways of playing piano and 1 organ sound in the instrument selection. Though not accurate to how they sound in real life, the instruments are distinct enough from each other so you can tell the difference between them. The introductory page theme song is some what cutesy but rather short for it is the only theme song for the whole game. I did not mind the constant beep sound that comes from every move you make in the game (typing, moving the cursor around, picking notes, Etc.). But I would not be surprised if most of you mute the game until you got to the composition part of the game and so for that reason alone I rated a 9.

Addictiveness~ Though you can create songs in this game, you are limited in many ways on how you can go about doing that and the extent you can compose. I believe it will only let you compose two measures of music in 4/4 time. So this game is only good for creating short abrupt tunes. You are only given 3 instruments to work with and you can't mix and match instruments for you can only use one at a time. Also you are only given a small range of pitches to work with (1-2 octaves at the most) For someone who is really interested in music this might keep me busy for maybe at the longest fifteen to twenty minutes tops due to having limited resources in this game. But to someone who is just piddling around, it wont even keep their attention for even ten minutes because finding out the keyboard configuration was quite a hassle. The keyboard configuration for the controls was hard to figure out and contributes to giving this area of rating a 1.

Difficulty~ (So going to explain the configuration problems that was apart of "Addictiveness" rating). Figuring out how to choose a note pitch, note length, and rest length took a while (especially when on Vizzed and using a keyboard) and the configuration was hard enough that I gave up trying to play back the song in the composition screen and went through the main menu to hear my song. I don't know why I didn't catch on earlier to the way the piano pitch keys were set up (just like the bottom two rows of letters on the computer keyboard. The bottom row was white keys and the top row was staggered as black keys) and the note and rest lengths were the numbers on the top of the computer keyboard. It is confusing enough where the average person trying to play this on Vizzed may give up at the start menu or sub menus following that. I rated this an 8 (in reference. I based this rating on how other people may view the configuration. It was a bit easier for me since I know the general layout of a piano keyboard).

Overall~ Good game for the time this came out. The play time may be short lived but it sparks the creativity within you. The short comings of the confusing configuration and the limited resources result in the down fall of a what could have been a higher overall rating for this game. A rating of 4.7 is inevitable.
Here is a video of me playing the game (for reference purposes).
