How come nobody has ported the "Name that tune" game to OSX or windows? That game is pretty kickass and very easy to write. Is it out there?

Thats an interesting question. I think I saw something like this at MacUpdate a while back, lemme check...

http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?...15&button.y=12

Ya, seems like there are a few. Beats me which one is best however.

.: 15" PowerBook G4 - 1.5 GHz - 512 MB RAM - ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 128 MB VRAM - 80 GB HD @ 5400 rpm :.

muquiz also looks just like the ipod quiz game. one is $9, the other is $12. Muquiz looks like it doesn't run full screen though. I think i'll try them both out and just buy the one i like more.

How do you play it?! I've tried a couple times that Music Quiz game on the iPod and cannot figure it out, what are you supposed to choose?

The iPod will start to play a random song that is on your iPod, from any point in the song. You have to pick the song title before the time runs out.

The longer you take, the more options it will take away, thus making your choice easier!

I tried them both and bought Rock Star because the interface was better (more distinct - easier to read)

After buying it the first game, it gives me an error on some of my songs. it seemed to be the ones that had long names. i'm going to report this bug to the developers and hopefully they will fix it. its pretty retarded.

But the fewer points you get for hitting the correct one.

Wow, that site where you can get Rock Star is pretty sick. They have a bunch of cool programs to play around with.

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

You actually play the other games? they are so crappy. they're either slow, or the control is too inhibiting for them to be played at a fun level.
