Doctor Who and the Warlord is a computer game based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, released for the BBC Micro[1] in 1985. It was promoted as part of the BBC Computer Literacy Project, with one such instance being after a 1985 screening of the 1966 film Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D..[2]
Gameplay
It is a text-based adventure featuring an unspecified Doctor (possibly sixth, as this was at the time). The game loaded in two parts, with a password and information from the first half needed to successfully continue into the second part.
Development
Former series producer Graham Williams was one of the designers of the game. A ZX Spectrum version was planned but never released.
