I barely remember playing this game, it was so long ago. I wasn't even aware of the series back then. Rewatching it now I feel it might be a milestone for Doctor Who completionists. Also this actually makes it cannonical for the doctor to have more than 13 regenerations and as such is a very important piece of media to redeem current series.

Star Jacker
Star JackerStar Jacker is an early vertical scrolling shooter with some interesting characteristics. The player starts out with three fighters with all of the fighters moving and shooting at the same time. Two fighters trail the lead fighter. Star Jacker features a similar scheme with the Namco game Xevious in that the fighters shoot at enemy fighters in the air while dropping bombs on enemies and targets on the ground level. When any of the fighters is killed, the game momentarily pauses and re-centers the player fighters before continuing at the same point. The game is over when all of the player's fighters are destroyed. Star Jacker allows no continues.
