 SuperKids Software Review of Play with the Teletubbies.
For those who have no experience with the Teletubby characters, they are brightly colored aliens with screens on their tummies and antennae on their heads.
The program itself includes 7 activities, from “Tubby toast” where toast slices pop from a large toaster machine and land on a table, to “Chase the Noo-Noo” in which a race ensues pitting Teletubbies against their machine friend, to the “Hiding Game” in which the user helps a Teletubby friend search for its buddies.
The slow paced program was unable to capture and hold their attention for long, and the lack of interactivity frustrated those on the older end of the age-spectrum.
