This arcade/adventure was universally panned, I think, but I enjoyed it nonetheless, in spite of being
a bit rough compared to 1986's standars. Anyway, it has a nice slightly surreal and cartoonish atmosphere, it lets you enter the game with a couple of simple puzzles, and, not knowing Dr Who, at the time I thought that traveling by wardrobe was quaintly interesting. It's ok.
3,75/5

The magazines gave this poor reviews yet the WoS users had a different impression as evident by its average score of nearly 8, but I have to say the magazines win with this one. It's slow paced and I really couldn't get on with the way you collected and used items here. You only collect three items at a time which I'm fine with, but you can only do so when the square is highlighted and that I'm not fine with, it was very confusing. I did like how you can throw the baseball cap at the Dalek to obscure its view and get past him, probably the best part of the game which says a lot. I certainly wasn't impressed with this.
