like a joke. Obviously aimed a t the pre-teen age-group, the Tortoise consists of two units : a heavy duty stabilising body with an "ergonom i cally" shaped control "shell" . The hand is supposed to fit smoothly over the shell at the top of which are three fire but- tons to stab at . Movement is engineered by rocking the shell from side-to-side and top to bottom. but after a while. even this proves a cumber- some and ineffective control system which soon becomes tiresome. Also . it ' s doubtful that small hands w i ll get the most out of th is device as they would probably fall short of the firebuttons due to the bulky nature of the shell." 1/5
