Philips Videopac 49 Turtles

Philips Videopac 49: Turtles is a captivating game developed by Philips and Magnavox for the Magnavox Odyssey 2.

In this engaging arcade-style game, players step into the role of a determined maternal turtle tasked with rescuing her kid turtles from a horde of troublesome bugs (or in some versions, pesky cars). Set in a maze reminiscent of the iconic Pac-Man, the game features turtle boxes placed strategically in the center and corners of the screen.

The objective is straightforward yet challenging: navigate the labyrinth to reach these turtle boxes, open them to free the kid turtles, and escort each one to a safe house before rescuing the next. As you progress, avoid the relentless bugs or cars that patrol the maze. To defend against these adversaries, you can drop mines that temporarily stun them. However, mines are limited and must be replenished by passing over a star located at the maze's center.

As the game advances, the bugs become increasingly intelligent, a change indicated by their shifting colors. Adding to the challenge, on higher levels, some boxes intended to contain kid turtles might instead release cunning beetles. This twist keeps players on their toes, adding a layer of strategy and excitement to the gameplay.

Philips Videopac 49: Turtles is a delightful blend of strategy, quick reflexes, and classic arcade fun, making it a must-play for fans of retro gaming.
