Dr Who platform game

A thread over on the Retro Remakes forum caught my eye today. In it the member Ishi says he has to make a Dr Who themed game for coursework (at university).

To save you going there yourself – Ishi says he has been playing a lot of Mario games (specifically Mario 64, and Mario Sunshine) recently and was inspired to make a 3d platformer.

He posted a video alongside it and, whilst clearly very early, it looks like it could be a lot of fun. I really like the simple look of the levels – they remind me of Marble Madness and, more recently, Hamsterball. I suspect the graphics are place holders but I hope that he keeps something similar for the final product.

I have wanted to create a 3D platform game of my own for some time now (since Mario Sunshine actually), and I think this looks much the way I imagined my game would look. I wish I had more time so that I could make a go of it myself.

Agree? Disagree? Have your say...

My son is going to go mental over this one. He love’s doctor who and I’ve recently started watching it with him.

One of the best 3D platformers I ever played was Pandemonium on Playstation. Also Crash Bandicoot was pretty good. Both weren’t free roaming though unlike Maximo which was also great.
