Doctor Who - The Adventure Games by Marcus
(from Doctor Who News Page)
Announcement of a series of Doctor Who PC/Mac games, to be made available free from the official site later this year.
These aren't the tacky little Flash-built arcade-style games the site's always had, but Proper, 3D, Download-and-Install games with voice casts and writers and the whole works. They sound like the could be excellent, provided they really are old-school adventure games and not platformers/shoot-em-ups masquerading as 'adventure games'. Best of all (from a very fannish point of view), the screenshot of a Cyberman suggests we may have seen the back of the alternate-universe Cybus Cybermen...
Very, very exciting.

Yes, nine thousand, three hundred and thirty-one. Madness! But fun madness.

Nice little piece on the importance, impact and greatness of Twin Peaks. Don't worry, there're no spoilers.
I have a partially made Doctor Who point-and-click adventure game that I made myself.
ReplyDeleteWell, okay, it's more of a demo than anything. No story or puzzles, just the interface, a few interactions, and a series of rooms. You can switch between Doctors, move from room to room, or take the TARDIS to a room. Peri and K9 are also in there.
I think I'll finish it now actually. I could send you a copy if you like, but I'm not sure it will run on Mac.
It probably won't run, cos that'd be sod's law, but I can see... and squirrel it away for if/when I ever get Windows running on here again (I was going to for Tales of Monkey Island, but they've released that for Mac now so no need).
