'''Dalek Attack'' was a [[Seventh Doctor]] game set in the year [[2254]] and featuring [[Davros]] and the [[Dalek]]s as main enemies.

The year is [[2254]], calculated in [[Earth]] terms, and on the planet [[Skaro]] [[Davros]] and the [[Emperor Dalek]] adresses the battle command of [[Dalek]]s. Davros tells the Daleks that over the past 100 years they have witnessed the [[Human|human race]] advance their scientific knowledge to the point of the humans becoming a threat to the Daleks, and tells them it is time to rectify this problem.

The Daleks travel to Earth to Exterminate the human, destroying buildings and bridges at the same time.

[[The Doctor]] tells [[Ace]] that they must destroy the Dalek pods and reverse the death rays before Davros turns Earth into a Dalek production planet.

The Doctor steals a [[Hoverbout]] from the Daleks and goes down to [[London sewers|the sewers]] to free the imprisoned humans while avoiding hitting the walls and being struckmann by pointy spikes and slime drops. To get out he had to fight two giant fire-spitting snakes from the mud, but lost the hoverbout in the process.

Back in the streets of [[London]] must fight off Daleks and humans converted into evil beasts all around while searching for coins (he can also enter various houses and the [[London Underground]]). He also fights off a beast inside a massive Dalek travel machine tank that can spit out mini rockets, in order to collect a [[Smart Card]] to travel to the next area on Earth.

The [[Time Lords]] sends the Doctor a message congratulating him on defeating all the Daleks in London, and sends him to [[Paris]] and tells him to use the Smart Card to cause a temporary disruption in the [[Force field|force field]].
