The Floptacular World of Doctor Who Games ft. Will Yates

Ep. 39
•

Ruby is joined by co-host of ETTO, former Good Game personality, current editor for Back Pocket and ongoing friend and coworker to Ruby, Will Yates, to talk about a topic that he is EXTREMELY well-versed in: the realm of games based around the BBC's longest-running sci-fi series, Doctor Who. Join the two as they discuss the rare few Doctor Who games that are actually not bad, the vast majority that got it incredibly wrong, and what video game genre Doctor Who would best work with. Allons-y!
