Title: Turbo The Tortoise Amstrad CPC 464
Post by: Neil79 on 10:57, 05 April 24
Just saw this pop up and bought it for £30.. Don't usually like paying that much for Amstrad games, but heard it's rare and good? Also I don't have it lol

It's a rarity from a Codies perspectiive but the HiTec version had even less issues as the company went bust not long after it's release, if my memory serves me well...

Fun game, actually finished it for the first time last year. :)

I would say the Codemasters version isn't all that rare compared to some of their later releases from 1992 and 1993, but it is a very good game indeed in my opinion.

I'm still slightly bitter that when I sold my copy of Turbo the Tortoise on eBay a couple of years ago, it went for only £11! :'(

Great game - also given away latterly with Amstrad Action as covertape...

Apart from copyright messages, I'm not aware of any differences.
