4It was ported over to the Platform/ColecoVision (which was bundled with a steering wheel and gas pedal controller) and the Platform/{{Intellivision}}. A port was also in development for the Atari 2600, however it remained unfinished and unreleased until members of Website/AtariAge obtained the code and then released a playable version in the 2010s. ''Turbo'' also inspired a licensed board game by Creator/MiltonBradley.
