# I like how you've actually worked out the mechanics of this
I would happily read your book "250 retro games I've fully imagined and not bothered to make"

# Can't be much worse than most
computer games based on Dr Who...

Does this one require an additional ROM in order to play it?

(Someone should definitely make a version of this...)

# I used to like Escape from Moonbase Alpha
which has Daleks despite no right to use them.

# I had that one with the extra chip
until my sibling wanted to play it one day and didn't know how to insert it, and fried it. oops. not their fault, and I could (and should) have taken an image of it beforehand... It was a remarkably good game and at the same time equally shit; looked nice, clever mechanics, no way to work out a solution without exploring the entire map first and working backwards (or just following the guide in Acorn User)

# Who didn't fry a chip or two back in the day...?
Never played it (only had an Elk myself, but got up to lots of mischief with the Beebs on my school's Econet), Was a big fan of other Gary Partis games, though...
