Turtles (Magnavox Odyssey²)

Stern's localisation of 600 comes to the humble Odyssey², making use of the system's speech synthesizer add-on to generate background music... by the very loosest definition of the term.

Developer Credits#

Press ? on the title screen after it has finished loading to replace the text with a credit to the game's programmer, Jim Butler.

Regional Differences#

USA

Europe

Rather than try to translate the "TURTLES" title text for every language, the European version simply removes it. The aforementioned hidden credit was unaffected by this change, and can still be accessed.
