Telly Turtle (ColecoVision) – Retro Programming Game by Carousel Software & Coleco Industries

Telly Turtle, developed by Carousel Software and published by Coleco Industries for the ColecoVision home console, is a unique educational title that blends gameplay with programming concepts.

Released during the early 1980s, the game is essentially a console adaptation of the LOGO programming language, where a friendly turtle acts as both guide and protagonist.

Using the ColecoVision keypad controller, players input commands from on-screen menus to direct Telly Turtle’s movements. By combining multiple commands, players can create simple programs to guide the turtle through various paths and patterns on the screen. This interactive design introduces fundamental programming logic in an accessible and entertaining format.

The inclusion of music and sound effects enhances the experience, giving feedback and atmosphere to the programming process. Telly Turtle stands out among ColecoVision’s library for promoting creativity, problem-solving, and early coding principles—making it a memorable title in the history of educational video games.
