Talk:The Adventure Games
Future episodes
The Doctor Who Adventure Games client connects to http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/static/doctorwho/tag/sparkle/ReleasedEpisodes.txt to see what episodes have been released, by changing this file to something stored on a different host with the number "4" instead of "1" the client will link you to the following sites which, in future, will let you download the client updates. Episode 2: https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/theadventuregames/download/bloodofthecybermen Episode 3: https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/theadventuregames/download/tardis Episode 4: https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/theadventuregames/download/shadowsofthedeep
This reveals the names of future episodes, hence I have added them to the article.
Involving the Silurians?
One of the Pictures involves a new GSO logo, Geo- Sur- Out-. Geo- = Geology? Mining = Silurians? Just something to think about. -Tom
This is an episodic graphic adventure video game, not an interactive episode
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games is an episodic graphic adventure video game, not an interactive episode. Two completely different things. An example of an interactive episode is Attack of the Graske. An example of an episodic graphic adventure video game is Tales of Monkey Island. Can we please have this changed around so people are not confused? The wikipedia article on the game is a bit more well informed as well having numerous links to sources about it. Just go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who:_The_Adventure_Games --Vitas 12:29, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Well Piers Wenger has been quoted as saying, "There aren't 13 episodes, but 17', or something similar. So some people up top are viewing them as episodes. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 16:12, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Lu-igi board - are these games going to be downloadable, or on disc?
- In the UK, just download. It might be a different story for the commercial version being released internationally. 68.146.81.123 13:28, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
Discussion of obtaining the games
I recommend the powers that be keep an eye on this article. There is a lot of anger over the fact the BBC has restricted the games to the UK, especially the "free download" part. People have already started posting "workarounds" on various forums, and it would probably be against the rules for similar information to be posted here. I have read that the UK installer confirms the location of the installing computer and won't work outside the UK; this needs a reputable source, but might be worth adding to the article. 68.146.81.123 13:28, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
The installer won't work unless the region/language is set to the UK, confirmed to work. --Antovolk 13:28, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Logos
There are two logos, one is the Adventure Games logo, the other is the title card from inside the game, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttm76h87n-E --Antovolk 13:30, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
Collectable Cards
Having played through the first game, I'd have to say that the cards are spread out through all four episodes, not each episode having it's own cards. I doubt I found all of them, but of the 25 or so, I only found about 6. Is there any other word on this??
