+x=usr(1536) Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Never saw it before. Is it a game, demo, static image, or other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Not (knowingly) in my collection..I just have the Dr Who Adventure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Which one of me is this, it might be 3 or 4.... There were two Doctor Who Type in's that immediately flashed in my thoughts, I might even have a book somewhere still but my pocket is clogged with jellies.... but other titles as well One with Daleks twiddling about the screen, one that was for the most part a text adventure, one that was a maze, and a German language adventure as well (though it's a graphics maze IIRC Might be a good move to post a disk image and see if anyone can run down a scan of their repositories and see what matches up Edited January 11, 2021 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacka013 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 It's a text adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) There were 3 Doctor Who text adventures on varying platforms as I think harder, Some written using the Quill adventure writer. This particular screen might be tweaked artic adventure A version- planet of death type text game ported about the different platforms... so as I stated a quick upload of the disk and we'd know for sure. I was only thinking about 1 text adventure in my post, so forgive the mistake, there have been some fan inspired releases as well. As my thoughts coalesced I am fairly sure I've thought it through now and will post more if it comes to me... I've at least provided enough for some searchers to track down Edited January 11, 2021 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) some quick searches https://www.theregister.com/Print/2013/11/07/antique_code_show_doctor_who/ http://www.reviewgraveyard.com/00_features/08-07-03_who-computer.htm http://gamingafter40.blogspot.com/2010/06/adventure-of-week-adventure-planet-of.html Most of the Doctor who stuff could be ported more than likely, but our guys would have to rethink them as only possibly 3 offerings might be ok for gameplay or fun as is and could be fixed up to be better and provide a more enjoyable experience. Most of them were not worthy. Let's see if what I've said pans out. It usually does Edited January 11, 2021 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If we can see the first screen for the text adventure I can probably narrow it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) That game and title screen have been mentioned and posted before, here, within the last few years. Edited January 13, 2021 by Gunstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacka013 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Here is the first screen. Edited January 13, 2021 by blacka013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well of course I can't find a match in my Doctor Who related disks. I'll keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Its a hack of Hibytes Star Trek Advenure game (just looked at the code), I guess from looking at the disk that some sort of Adventure creator was used to make the Star Trek game and this person has used that to to do his own thing. There's remnants of text allowing to Add Rooms etc hence the thought its from a creator software.. Also there's only 10 room files on the disk so not finished (?) and the parser is very unfriendly.. Will post the disk if the owner does not mind.. Edited January 15, 2021 by Mclaneinc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
