Doctor Who LCD Adventure Game Review | Ashens

- A gift for an unearthly child? Here's a look at an LCD game released a couple of years back, tied in with the terrifyingly long-lived TV series Doctor Who. It has indistinct graphics and makes lots of irritating noises, so I felt right at home.

I listen to an ashens playlist when going to bed. I woke up to the opening of this video which was the creepiest thing ever.
I actually do the same. O: I'm surprised I'm not the only weirdo around. Hoorah?
@@MarylZ I do it too
some days
Breakfast mess is the worst thing I ever woke up to.
Nobody is gonna see this because it’s a fucking comment from 8 years ago. But holy shit. This comment killed me.
Imagine being a programmer and your boss tells you the company has secured a license to make an official Dr Who game.
Then imagine you're presented with the hardware it has to be written for.
I'd actually like working with the limitations. Also, you'd need a very small team or just a single person.
Wow that opening must have had a budget of like five times the original doctor who!
Looked so realistic! If only BBC employed Ashens!
Nicy30941
It had moving parts and everything!
Antonius Weezel
As well as an actual sound!
The Sapper And Ashens is from Norwich, which is in England.
Windows OS Guess what dickwad, I'm from somerset.... Look that up. But still just because there in the same country miles apart doesn't mean they have him employed....
I think Stuart would make a fantastic doctor. Charming, witty, and smart. I mean, he is a doctor, but of psychology.
That NEEDS to be a thing, we need to start writing letters to the BBC at once!
Dr. Who blows.
And he'll have random tat from pound land laying around the Tardis
T.C. B He'll travel time and space to find all sorts of knockoff products to review.
Coming soon: *Doctor Who And The Search for a POP Station*
Starring Stuart Ashen as the Doctor

"An excellent intro"
sample text "An excellent adventure"
laurynas200 "An excellent piece of tat"
I still have one of these. Its actually quite a challenging but fun game with a surprising amount of content for something of this kind. It kept me busy for a long time, in place of any video games.....
wow, the production quality of the intro was slightly better than the shows.
Slightly...ITS BETTER BY 9999988877654321000000000000000000000000000%
David Tennant's face on the LCD screen reminds me eerily of Charlie Sheen peering around the corner...
Top ten comments that aged poorly moment
Best Intro you ever did.
8 years ago... It looks like a brand new video. Love it
This looks like something a highschool student programmed on their ti-84.
That intro MUST be my ringtone.
Happy 50th Anniversary Doctor Who!
50 years!?!? Sonic comics have been running for half as long.
(Wow... that is a horrible pun.....)
Wow
ContraZombie4 Of course he's going to take 25 years when everyone else is taking 50. Gotta go fast!
Imagine how much slower the pacing of the show would be if every time they went anywhere in the Tardis there was a ten-minute scene of the doctor fiddling around with a d-pad or a joystick to steer it around galaxies and seaweed at 2 miles an hour
I love that you can still see the marks made by the Packbuster on the packaging.
THERE WAS A FUCKING "Where to see a Police Box!" ADVERT.
WHAT THE FUCK GOOGLE.
TF-Chroma Your profile picture is perfect.

Games With Satan I like to turn it off from time to time to find these ridiculous adverts.
I might have to try it sometime.
+Games With Satan fuck ad block
The fact that this was released so recently is astounding!
brandybuck1984 Perhaps even "Fantastic!"
"Oh, a 'T'! A 'T' for Doctor Who. Marvelous."
I about spewed my drink at that.
I had one of these as a child and am currently experiencing the phenomenon known as nostalgia
I had this as a child I LOVED it I used to listen to the music all the time
I laughed my head off at the intro
When the BBC has budget cuts after cutting dr. Who from netflix and hulu
+Apple News when iPhone 7 coming out? I hate the iPhone 7 so discontinue the product
Are you serious? Please don't say you're being serious.
+BeaverInABlender
Thank god... Someone in the comments section has a brain.
Got to be the best TH-cam intro ever, this had us in stitches
balling my eyes out with laughter after that intro XD, £8500 to make...LOL
I liked the 90's Dr. Who TV movie, so there.
Is it really that hated? I've never seen it. I grew up in the 90s but never heard about it or anything.
Oda Swifteye it's pretty cheesy. And the plot is more tenuous than most davies episodes.
Katherine Forrester OH.
I preferred it to the series! Sorry everybody.
Paul McGann is what saves it from being utter shite.
I got this for my birthday when I was a young child. I loved it :(
But there's the Tenth Doctor on the box... Weren't you aware of the existence of far better handhelds at the time?
@@OlpusBonzoI was 6...
@@mrtjm1152 When I was six years old I played electronic handhelds akin to the Game & Watch series, but I knew there was the Game Boy out there...
"What?!!!" Great review. Haven't found one of these on this side of the Atlantic yet.
“Wolf face Jeff” of course the greatest doctor who villan
I think Blackpool was my favorite thing I've seen with David Tennant in it. Great show, but as with most British shows, it didn't run nearly enough episodes, but it did wrap up nicely at the end. I'd suggest anyone who is unfamiliar should check it out.
i farted during the intro so it blended in nicely
Kekekeje Ajsgshdj i farted whilst reading this comment. Can we be friends?
Why did i even laugh at this
Interestingly the game itself is pretty much entirely based on Series 2, with a bit of 1, but the device is covered in images of characters from Series 3.
Love the intro XD and you can see the scratches from Poundland Special 3
I love how ungodly creepy the Doctor looks when he peers around that corner. "I'm watching you".
I kind of want this now. Is there an emulator for it though? If not, perhaps I could purchase one and create the first emulator. I wonder how many people will pirate this fabulous game if an emulator is nade. Hmm.
+Mrvideosandgames Emulate LCD games? Next you'll want a POP Station emulator as well.
if you are trolling good job mate if not it is sad
P Ferreira Just saw your comment due to getting notified by *****. Well, it would probably be easier to see, just like the original Gameboy games, when emulated. :P
Mrvideosandgames Oh yeah definitely. I wasn't saying it was a terrible idea, I was just joking as if to do that would be a guilty pleasure, a case of "why would you want to, but why not, go on anyway".
P Ferreira :P
When you read the part about 'physical tests' I had the idea of what if at some random point in the game 'RUN A KILOMETER' popped up on the screen and flashed there until you did it...Also it had a sensor that detected movement.
...They had the werewolf-alien-thing on the picture, but no Cybermen? Son, I am disappoint.
Hello disappoint
8:54 Did anyone else think his delivery of "I couldn't tell what it was when it was whole" was the most hilarious thing ever? No? oh.
They spent a lot of time on the design of this handheld because they knew it would have to display well on a shelf...
The ending to the intro was hilarious.
It was just about done then it was like
" FUCK IT, it sounds like shit, why even bother? " 😁
Thatlcd screen looks surprisingly very sharp.
Timelords have 13 lives. I'd love to see Ashens as the 13th Doctor simply because I imagine he'd be a cynical bastard once he's on his last life. XD
That's the budget! Just like Michael Bay films
You mean "indredibly high" as he can make all of those AWESOME action movies, with TONS pf explosions and stuff?
GamingDude800 Same mate,same.
These are the longest videos on youtube I can actually watch without getting bored.
I have the answer to one to one of your questions. The Wire was in the cab because it took control of Magpie who owns the TV company that the Wire is in. (You can see Magpie's logo on many other media equipment throughout the show!) The Wire ordered Magpie to connect her to the national broadcasting tower. You might not have seen this episode it's sort of...complicated
12:50 OH MY GOD ! IT'S THE REALITY SHOW VIRUS !
Honey Boo Boo will kill us all!
"The impossible planet: thats where they make political decisions that please everybody XD"
Does anyone else notice that it said he found Martha at 9:19, but in the show when they did the episode with Madame La Pompadour and the Clockwork Droids the Doctor's companion was Rose
Yeah, the game sort of gives you people randomly.
Damn it all, Ashens! 'Wolfy Jeff' made me spit out my coffee!
I thought it was LSD...
No you didn't.
If only it was some LSD, it would've made the game so much more fun
Oh yes he did!
Dr. Who is that show that Americans watch and then start speaking in a fake British accent and talking non-stop about how they can't wait for their next vacation to England. And they're always shoehorning it into conversation in the most irrelevant ways.
"I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. It reminded me of episode 428 of Dr. Who where David Tennant did some stupid shit that you don't care about. Let me give you the entire episode's synopsis."
We've been doing terrible fake British accents over here for far longer than that. The Anglophile thing certainly isn't new, either. I blame the Beatles for the latter.
happydorkgirl Ah the British Invasion! Take your fancy trans-atlantic movements of musical development and go back where you came from!! ;)
Hey, now, we've changed a fair amount over here as time has gone by. We welcome your culture now - except the whole royalty thing. You can keep that. It creeps us out a bit. :)
TheBillsone1 that everone has.
i like doctor who but can everyone just shut up about it for a second
Niiice man, you have good taste in shows ;D
It's just that... I personally love the concept of "time travelling" and in the show it is done so well, I mean, the tardis, and the character of the Doctor is just awesome, there are 11 of them, all fantastic, and I just can't help to like this show, that has been around for almost 50 years!
Try watching the episode "Vincent and the Doctor", it's pure art.
I love the reference to the first Doctor Who episode in the description.
You might not know this, but Looker (Pokémon series) bears a striking resemblance to David Tennant. Odd.
That's Ood.
Because of the story really, it's a sweet sweet sci-fi, with awesome characters, soundtracks and adventures.
It has such an epic vibe, and the fact that we don't know so much about the protagonist makes it sooo mysterious, you need to watch the series to get what I mean.
Well, the Tardis front is pretty nice. And putting it up as a sort of Tardis statue is probably the most fun that can be derived from that thing.
@Johnnymushio May I ask what video he admitted cutting it wrong?
I used to have this when I was younger! :')
Same
Same but I never knew what was going on, so I eventually just ripped off the panel and kept that

Tomas Zakrocki thanks

17:46 Quazatron reference FTW! (And having loved Quazatron back in 1985 or so, I can tell anyone who doesn't know about it that it is about a hundred times more fun than this, despite being twenty years older.)
The rock quarry in Wales was a reference to the 1976 episode The hand of fear where there was a scene filmed in a quarry
And, you know, every other episode where there was a scene filmed in a quarry.
Its best kept closed, Looks kinda cool that way.
Now i really want lucasarts style Dr.who point & click game.
Its there. I don't have a link but I remember playing it a few years ago. I think it was made in AGS so you should check their forums and look around the mid 2000ish posts to find it.
was this the one where you tried to open it with the packbuster?
It fell behind a wardrobe is the barkingly funniest thing ever. Better than "the dog ate my homework." Luv ya all!
Holy fuck i played the hell outta this as a kid
0:23 Am I high?
No, take another hit
I want an extended version of that intro.
What did you use to make the song on the intro? Twas funny :)
Loved the hellish dr who intro.
Joseph Joestar
Kid - Mom can we get BBC so we can watch Doctor Who
Mom - We have Doctor Who at home
Doctor Who at home -................
Actually this is a great game for LCD game type! I like it .....
I love that intro theme to Dr. Who.
Ashens sounds exactly like David Tennant whenever he says "What?".
LOL! I loved that intro!
I played this when I was 4. I beat it. its not hard
Good
for
you
.
I remember Crime Traveller being awesome. Of course, I was 7 when it was on, so it may well not have been.
You should make a video that loops the intro from this one for an hour. By the end I might be able to stop finding it so funny but I doubt that.
Did the intro REALLY take £8,500 out of your budget? You could've greenscreened or something
it's called a joke
No, no - dbn wasn't joking around. The tone of his voice made that clear.
+A Bottle Of Scrumpy the tone of his voice? ...really?
It actually went till 1996, then started again in 2005.
The Restoration of Dr Who no. there was nothing on tv between survival in 89 and the movie in 96 so what ashens said was right
Well, wiki and everything else is wrong then, even the BBC DVD's.
Well, it was 1963-1989, then it came back for one night in 1996 (as far as the TV show is concerned, anyway).
+Cybermat47 Correct.
The Restoration of Dr Who Okay, so name one of the 1991 episodes. Tell us who played the doctor in 1994.
Hey, did you get a new camera? The focus was lightning fast
House. You're referring to the episode The Doctor's Wife in which the TARDIS is lured into a miniature bubble universe by the sentient asteroid House who feeds on TARDISes by moving their Matrix (their 'soul') into a humanoid receptacle and then feeding on the remaining artron energy. But when it finds out there are no Time Lords left it changes its plan by commandeering the empty shell and going to the main universe to look for a new food source.
Not that I didn't love your rendition of the doctor who theme but please never use it again
The actually kept the doctor on earth so much was to ease new fans into it and not dump them head first into the deep end of years worth of lore and space travel. And I was more personally interested in the earth based episodes my self
no they kept him because its fairly cheap to do
Frank Thepug Not true, the budget for Series 1 and 2 was incredibly tight, meaning doing episodes based on earth around the past and present is much easier than creating a brand new alien world. IIRC the only time in the first 2 series of new who that's neither on earth nor a space station was The Impossible Planet (Oh, and I guess New Earth technically speaking)
The only other explanation is the writers were being lazy and just using Earth because it's easier to write. This is very noticable in the multiple space station episodes, which could have easily taken place above any other planet. No real plot reason though, sadly. I do remember lots of tv guides and websites complaining about constantly being on earth for most of the time though.
There actually has been a plot specific reason for The Doctor being stuck on earth though. Jon Pertwee, the Third Doctor, spent most of his time banished to earth after his previous incarnation was sentenced by the Time Lords because he was meddling with time, which is something the Time Lords didn't like doing. There were times where The Doctor did travel in The Tardis (though very limited) also in his first Series Finale, he accidnetally travelled to a parrallel universe, which is amusing because Tennant did the exact same thing in his first Series, when the show was still staying rather grounded on earth for all but one (two if you count new earth) story, excluding the space stations of course
The intro was mind blowing!
In Poland we have TV show called "Moda na sukces" and it is running from the age of my grandmother. It is still going and it has over 2000 episodes.
david tennant was the best doctor
I miss David tennant they replace him with the new docters and the monsters *aliens* in the new docter are not as scary as Davied tennant :(
Hmm... I prefer Tom Baker myself...
neko girl "they replace him with the new doctors" You realise that's how David Tennant got the part in the first place, right? By replacing another Doctor....
Matt Smith is better
Like PompeiiProductions Tom Baker was always my favourite doctor, followed by Jon Pertwee, then David Tennant.
Still better than Chris Chibnell's version
I remember Crime Traveller, then the US did their own version called Seven Days both of which was kinda cool
Why do I have a feeling they used the Nexus VST saw init preset for the intro music?
Dear god, it's a puzzle RPG featuring my least favorite Doctor.
Which is your favourite? Personally, my favourite is Matt Smith.
RobotSnake For some reason, Colin Baker.
@@nicolerichwine5767my favourite is Tom Baker and my least favourite is Peter Davison.
I'm just saying this to be edgy. I don't like Dr. Who.
+UrbanArtifact I never really got into it either. You are not alone.
Thanks now I don't feel so crazy.
Not a problem, sci-fi really isn't my thing.
you too urbanartiffact
I don't get the reference
The Doctor confirmed for Smash as a Mr. Game & Watch clone.
Dude, that intro was amazing -.-
wow i think this wouldve been super badass had it been released sometime pre 96. i wouldve loved that as a kid. i enjoy youre commentary. i laughed most of the video. i love dr who.
The Doctor's sadface is hillarious.
Where do you find all of these gaming consoles?
+TJLmation Donations and eBay. Also various shops.
we are on series 41 apparently as we finished the original run on 37 so roughly 43 series from start to now
A little of both. You can only watch the New Series and still know what's going on, but it is still part of the same series as the old stuff, hence the continuation of numbering of the Doctor's regenerations in the new series starts at 9, not 1. The old series ended with 7, the tv movie had 7 regenerate into 8, and somewhere between then and 2005, 8 regenerated into the 9 that starts Series 1.
Omg I don't know why but I loved the intro!
I had a similar screen on an electronic Pokedex given to me by my job when I was a "gym leader"
How have I missed this one until now!
