Validity?

Based on Thread:161867, shouldn't this game be ruled invalid? Shambala108 03:57, May 22, 2019 (UTC)

To be more specific, the page states:
  • Player 1 could choose from a selection of the Second Doctor, Fourth Doctor and Seventh Doctor and were all "armed" with a sonic screwdriver, each representing a decade of the show. (DWM 197) Certain game port only have the Seventh Doctor.
  • Player 2 could choose from Ace or the Brigadier.
Given that Legacy (video game) was ruled invalid for specifically that kind of reasoning, I can't see how this game could be considered valid. Shambala108 04:00, May 22, 2019 (UTC)
