The
cute Teddy Touch & Tell continues the ideas of the previous Touch & Tell
and the wonderful Touch & Discover. The idea of the product is simple:
Switch the game on and wait for the instruction. The only thing you need is your
fingertip.
This educational toys addresses children aged 2-5 years and introduces the Alphabet, Numbers, Colours, Animals, Music and a lot of other intersting things with a friendly voice.
The Teddy Touch & Tell uses exchangable speech ROM's in an
expansion port. This gives you access to other game-pictures than the provided Bluish
Purple ones. Three different color-coded Teddy Touch & Tell Cartridge's are known :
Green,
Blue, and Reddish Purple.
