Does anyone know if there are any doctor who games (not downloads) apart 
from Dalek Attack and Destiny of The Doctors that are available.

I know that on the C-64 there was a game called 'Dr Who and the Mines of
Terror', and there used to be an old Dr Who game for the BBC computers.  Oh,
incidentally, if anyone can give me a walkthrough for mines of terror I'd be
grateful... I"m _still_ stuck after all these years :-)

A discussion on this list last year brought forth some games that are called
'MUDS' (from memory).
They were text based adventures where you typed in your response and it took
you to the next bit.  Very primitive, but quite playable from all accounts.
I have them at home and would be happy to foward them onto anyone that is
interested.  Or if the person who originally had them hosted on his web site
steps forward we can find out where they are again ;-)
Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror seems to ring a bell.  I'll have a look
when I get home.

The first BBC computer game for the Acorn BBC computer was called "Doctor
Who - The First Adventure" and comprised of four rather poor arcade games
including a Frogger clone.  As well as The Mines of Terror, they also
released a text adventure called "Doctor Who and the Warlord".  This seems
to be the rarest item and I've only seen a photo of it in "The Eighties".
Two unofficial games were released by other companies.  "The Key to Time"
was a text adventure in which the play had to solve five mini puzzles to
reassemble the Key and save Gailifrey.  I think it was only sold at
conventions.  There were versions for the Spectrum and the C64.   Then
there was the cheeky "Doctor What?" in which a time traveller who used a
telephone box was the hero.  This was an arcade adventure which also
featured cone shaped robots that looked rather like Daleks.  The cover
featured the TARDIS with extra jets and go faster stripes and the logo was
in the neon style.  It was available for the Spectrum.
More recently there is an unofficial module for Quake which delivers
Daleks, Cybermen and a TARDIS interior.  Hope this helps,

Didn't one of the game magazines have a Dr Who based game that you
had to type in the lines of the programme? Something to do with a
pyramid I think. Tom Baker Doctor...

 telephone box was the hero.
It was called a TRYDIS, which looked cunningly like TARDIS when rendered
in the appropriate font. It had a standard console room inside, as well.
There was a sonic screwdriver, a Davros-a-like called Pruneface, and a
K9 which I /think/ was called K8. You played several people, called
Doctor What, Doctor Why, Doctor When and Doctor... not sure. Another
one. Not Doctor Who, though one of the TRYDISes (there were several) did
profess to belong to him. The goal I think was to find some sort of
cosmic jellybaby.
Quite good, in an early Spectrum sort of way. I finished it eventually -
I remember being rather proud.
Love and hugs,
Matt

Back in '82, Red Shift (later to morphose into Mythos Games, developers of
the X-Com series) did a game called "Timelords"  (not to be confused with
Level 9's "Lords of Time") in which the players -- you took turns at the
mighty Acorn BBC Model B -- each controlled a race in a time war and
distributed their influence up and down the timelines to turn things their
way. It was quite good fun when it worked properly but it was absolutely
bugridden. 
Calling the game "Timelords" was a little cheeky but you can understand the
BBC not bothering going after them. Perhaps if the mandarins of Broadcasting
House had actually played the game, they might have been a bit more put out
at the names of the warring races; the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Autons...

There was also an NES game called Timelord back in the Eighties, but I
think it had about as much to do with Doctor Who as Micro Noodles have to
do with nutrition.

Yup.  I bought that one sight unseen thinking it might have been related to
the show, but I think the title is simple a coincidence.

Can't remember that one but I do remember that "Sinclair Programming"
printed a listing for a game called "Dalek Attack" in which a Dalek glided
down the screen and had to be shot at.
I've also recalled that a platform game called "Eric the Viking" (I think)
featured a Dalek on one of its many levels.

I'm afraid I don't know offhand but I do know it exists because someone I know has
it om their computer.  I'll try and get the URL off him soon.
Thanks Matt by the way for remembering all those extra details about "Doctor What?".
 It all coming back to me now.
