I have a very hard time critiquing a text-based adventure game since you really need to play it in a specific way the programmer has designed it, and I'm honestly just too impatient and just looked up as much info on how to beat the game online so I could actually see the rest of the game.

Honestly its really neat that Graham Williams return to this series by being the main programmer/writer of the game, I may not be the biggest fan of his short ten-year as showrunner of the 4th Doctor's later stories, but he was still responsible for conceding the idea of K-9, and heading the first true over arcing season-long story arc with 'Key of Time' that New Who has been doing for years so he differently left a mark of the series outside of this really boring game.

Oh yeah I should probably talk about the game more.............um..........it's a basic text-based adventure game, so I don't really have much to say.
I have a theory that the BBC purposefully tried to hide Colin Baker's 6th Doctor from all signs of this game just to make sure it had any chance of selling well. Mostly because of the 6th Doctor's poor reception; due to his very radical change of personality and just really bad stories he was lumped with. This would all lead to a point in which the show could never recover so any hopes of the BBC trying to save this game's longevity in sales was probably a fruitless effort and I'd rather they'd just put Colin's face on the goddamn box, (please the poor guy has suffered enough for his time on the show)

I think the fact I've rambled on more about the general show rather than the game really does show how basic of a game it is I can barely find anything to say about it. (or maybe I'm just lazy?)
I'm sorry I've just been really into Doctor Who in the past few months and I'm making it all of my friend's problem.
