*[[File:Mastercaptured.png|thumb|[[The Master]] captured by a hostile force (hinted at being the Daleks), he states "You know what these mosters will do to me."]]Where this game fits into continuity is uncertain. The [[1996]] release date of this game coincides with the release of ''[[Doctor Who (1996)|Doctor Who]]'' starring [[Paul McGann]]. This is noted by the use of the TV movie logo on the packaging and the Master's reference to the "seven complete incarnations of the Doctor" suggesting that at the time of this story, the Seventh Doctor had already regenerated. However, no reference is made to the [[Eighth Doctor]] and the appearance of Anthony Ainley as the Master clearly puts this story prior to the TV movie. Also notable is that the City of Thoughts entry for the Seventh Doctor ends without mentioning his regeneration. Therefore, a possible interpretation of the Master's statement about the "complete incarnations" may be that this story takes place near the end of the Seventh Doctor's life at some point before the TV movie. This last theory is borne out by the fact that on the rear cover, the Seventh Doctor appears in his outfit from the TV movie. | *[[File:Mastercaptured.png|thumb|[[The Master]] captured by a hostile force (hinted at being the Daleks), he states "You know what these mosters will do to me."]]Where this game fits into continuity is uncertain.

*It has also been suggested that this game directly links into the TV movie, ending with The Master held captive by an unknown enemy (though heavily implied to be the Daleks) and punished with the opening of the TV Movie. The incarnation of The Master seen to be exterminated resembles the Ainley incarnation (though played by [[Gordon Tipple]]). | *It has also been suggested that this game directly links into the TV movie, ending with The [[File:Destiny-cybermen.png|thumb|left|A cyberman in the TARDIS.]]Master held captive by an unknown enemy (though heavily implied to be the Daleks) and punished with the opening of the TV Movie.

*The [[First Doctor|First]] and [[Second Doctor]]s seem to recognise the Master in his current incarnation so this would suggest they were taken out of time sometime after ''[[The Five Doctors]]''. | *The [[First Doctor|First]] and [[Second Doctor]]s seem to recognise the Master in his current incarnation so this would suggest they were taken out of time sometime after ''[[The Five Doctors]]''. | ||
