i FINALLY found a chiptune cover of the doctor who theme. not only did i find it, but it is FUCKIN' AWESOME:

The Doctor's In Danger by Mahamajama

MUCH more aesthetically pleasing than the version made for the actual bbc micro game the mines of terror, which you can listen to here. i've never played it but i've heard once you get past the music and the less-than stellar graphic design it's a really engrossing game (well, according to hardcore gamers. which i wouldn't count myself as since echo the dolphin is enough of a challenge for my attention and patience).









also, anyone who ever wished they could have a wee doctor who game to play on their gameboy should check out one of these posts by reasonabsurd. pixel art is sexy, and so is saving gallifrey from daleks while collecting bananas for extra points! i would definitely play this game. if it actually existed. which it doesn't. :(

If I had a Doctor Who video game, I might care enough to finish it.

The music is absolutely brilliant, and so is the game! I really want to play this now. I wonder if I can get my video-game-lovin' little brother to find an emulawhatchamacallit of MINES OF TERROR and jigger it to work on my Mac.

I wonder what the deal is with the white cat down there? And what CSC stands for? So many things to find out!

Awesomeness all around. But just a side note, Ecco the Dolphin is considered one of the hardest games on the Genesis.

I'm loving this 8bit community though!!
