Play with the Teletubbies (Windows)

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.
  • Prerelease content.

Play with the Teletubbies is a watered down port of the PlayStation version and a pointless game for your infant where you, god, point around to make a Teletubby move and click on random objects to go to an activity. If you don't want fun (doubt you even had), click on the windmill to watch some kids doing stuff, or just simply don't play this game.

"AGAIN! AGAIN!"

Unused Models#

Model of a cube with a sphere inside it.

Window Menus & Dialogs#

Most of them are leftovers from Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors (they seem to also go unused there), suggesting this game was built on top of it.

Menu for a model editor.

An about window crediting Studio Fish. This has the name Beryl in place of Shirley from the original dialog.

Something related to gameplay and levels.

Window with a text input field in the middle.

Not a leftover. A window with only an "OK" and "Cancel" button.

Regional Differences#

To do:
Check if there are more differences between the two versions.

Just like in the show, the narration is different between the two versions.

Intro#

Europe

North America

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

Tubby Bye-Bye#

Europe

North America

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.
