Play with the Teletubbies (PlayStation)

To do: Differences between the PC & PS1 versions: E.g. The Baby Sun is an FMV on PS1 while it's a limited set of frames on PC, The Videos from the Teletubbies tummys look smaller & covered with borders on PC.

In Play with the Teletubbies, you play with the nostalgic children's nightmare: the Teletubbies as one day in Teletubbyland, you help them make Tubby Toast and Tubby Custard, chase the Noo-Noo around the Tubbytronic Superdome, play hide-and-seek, find their favorite things and play the Magic Drum. And the blend of activities, video sequences, and interactive animations can't make it even better.

"AGAIN! AGAIN!"

Regional Differences#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Check if there are more differences between the two versions.

Just like in the show, the narrator is different between the two versions (Tim Whitnall in the UK and Rolf Saxon in the US).

Intro#

The lines "Time for Teletubbies!" and "Where have The Teletubies gone?" are different between the two versions.

Tubby Bye-Bye#

The line "Time for Tubby Bye-Bye" is also different between the two versions. Strangely, the line "The sun is setting in the sky, Teletubbies say goodbye." remains the same in both versions of the game by simply using the UK version of said line.
