Introducing Terry Turtle's Adventure
It ·s spring and your child's pal, Terry Turtle, wants to go home to his burrow. Only
your child can help Terry move through the meadow, over the brook, through leafy
shrubs, over logs, and under rocks. Terry meets trolls and strawberry-stealing
critters along the way. Your child's challenge is to get Terry home to his burrow
1><..' forC' winter comes.
Tt>rry moves square by square on the screen. On his homeward-bound adventure,
Terry meets obstacles, such as rocks, logs, shrubs, a winding brook, and trolls
(friendly and unfriendly). Terry searches forjuicy strawberries that make his
adventure more exciting.
Your child can make Terry move forward, turn to the left and right, climb over logs
and rocks, dig under rocks, eat shrubs, and swim in the brook. Your child controls
everything that Terry does on the screen by giving him commands or
··programming" him .. Your child can either program Terry by saying commands
aloud into the headset microphone or pressing keys on the MBX console.
Terry is very obedient. He responds if your child gives one command at a time or if
your child strings commands together to give Terry many commands at one time.
Your child can discover that multiple commands save time-and time is important,
for he or she is playing against a seasonal clock.
As your child plays Terry Turtle's Adventure, the seasons change from spring to
summer to fall and Terry must get home before winter comes.
