Alas, tonight is the series finale.

But theres one dimension where the Doctor has yet to plant his flag: video games.

But thats not enough, is it?

I want a TRUE adaptation.

Still, lets not be glum.

Theres a new Doctor in the TARDIS.

That means that were bound to get a lot of new licensed products in the next few years.

On BBCs list is undoubtedly a video game or two.

Until then, lets take a look at the Doctors big video game adventures thus far.

Who Adventurefor the Atari 400 and 800 systems.

There are plenty of perils on Quantain to key in yourself out of.

Other enemies included murderous robots that looked a lot like a certain exterminating supervillain.

Six just couldnt catch a break.

And yes, thats Four flying around in a hovercraft in the beginning of the game.

You could even play with a friend, who would join you as companion Ace or a UNIT soldier.

Unsurprisingly, people went all wibbly wobbly over it.

This was also the first time the Daleks were featured in aDoctor Whogame.

Davros, creator of the Daleks, leads his army to invade Earth.

And the Time Lords send The Doctor to stop him, of course.

Yeah, this was an EPIC adventure.

Plus, the cover art was gorgeous:

There just isnt cover art as good as this anymore.

Retro is king of the cover art.

but also didnt have a new game to play.

Throughout the adventure, you travel to every Doctors TARDIS, saving them one by one from The Master.

The best part of this game was the HUGE database that was included in the package.

This is what it looked like:

This is Tennant and friends only appearance in aDoctor Whogame to date.

It came out for the Nintendo DS, Wii, PS2, and PC.

In 2010, gamers got a new dose of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

Unfortunately, the quantity of games during the Smith era doesnt necessarily mean quality.

The Adventure Games the best this new era had to offer arrived as episodic content for PC.

Fans who lived in the UK even got the games for free from the BBC website.

Again, theres something to be said about the structure of the game.

Instead, theyve always opted for the silliness of Gaawk, Splinx, and all-around punchline fodder.

But in a post-The Last of Usworld, a deep, complex story is within anyones reach.

Its all rather boring.

Still, these new formats werent enough to grab players interests.

Two years later, the video game franchise still hasnt recovered.

Although not all ideas have worked, the best thing about this franchise is its flexibility.

A game, first and foremost, must be a game not an extension of a TV show.

I dont want to read more ad copy that reads Play as your favorite characters from theDoctor Whotelevision series.

The Whoniverse deserves it.

I say they make a video game that does him justice.
