The Doctor is In!

Seeing as Dr Who has been a big deal for the past ten years here's something from the classic era!:

Original video located here. Accessed 5th September 2014

This is Dalek Attack - a game that appeared on home computers in the early nineties. I never got to play it as I, much like a lot of games in that period, could only admire it from afar.
Watching this video it's hilarious though to see the Doctor implemented into an action game. The Doctor is, after all, a character who would rather use his wits than a weapon to solve a problem. So what do we have here? The Doctor is throwing grenades and shooting Daleks & Orgrons - and with the sonic screwdriver at that!
Still I do like the idea of the player being able to select one of the (at the time) seven incarnations of the doctor to use as a PC. Whilst I have little hope for future Dr Who games in the near future, I do hope that this idea is taken into consideration. Who wouldn't want to charge into the action as Jon Pertwee?
