Doctor Who: Destiny of The Doctors - Overview

Overview

A collaboration between BBC Multimedia and Studio Fish (a British developer), Destiny of the Doctors was a CD-ROM which received an 11+ age rating from ELSPA. It was supported by Microsoft Windows 95 (although it also works on all subsequent forms of Windows there are some compatibility issues with XP and Vista on some PCs). It was released in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, as well as some countries in Europe, and was well received and found critical acclaim from many magazines (including the now defunct PC Planet). It was quite successful; however, rumours of a new version of the game based on elements of the revived series have proven to be unfounded.

The game featured extensive, newly recorded audio dialogue by Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, and Nicholas Courtney who reprised his role as The Brigadier. William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton were represented by a voice actor impersonating the deceased portrayers of the First and Second Doctors. The substitute Hartnell and Troughton clips were laced with artificial grain to simulate vintage recordings. Jon Pertwee originally agreed to appear in the game. However, due to his death before recording, an agreement was reached with his widow, Ingeborg Pertwee, to represent him in the game using audio clips from the television series. This game contains Anthony Ainley's final recorded performance as the Master before his death. The story was written by long time Doctor Who writer Terrance Dicks
