If you are one of the thousands of Dr. Who fanatics,
this one is for you. The game on this disk originally appeared as one of
the bonuses on our issue 44 disk and has subsequently toured the world
in various club PD libraries. Along the way, someone put it together
with several text files to make a nice rounded disk and we thought we
would put it into the PAGE 6 library as it stands. The game is an arcade
adventure in which you have to find your Time Drive Unit which has been
stolen by the Master. You must search rooms, find and use objects and
avoid those who are out to kill you. This is not a text adventure but a
graphics based, joystick controlled game with many rooms and lots of
puzzles. The added text files make fascinating reading. There is a list
of credits of the actors who have taken many of the well known roles in
the series; a complete episode list showing program titles, number of
episodes and the seasons they appeared in from season 1 right up to
season 25; a very nice bibliography with several books which you
probably didn't know about; an article on whether the Doctor and the
Master are one and the same and a long article on what goes on behind
the scenes in a typical Dr. Who season. Finally there is a knitting
pattern for a Dr. Who scarf that your Mum (or your wife!) can knit for
you - it's a full 24 foot long!
