Top Trumps Specials: Doctor Who

Product Information

There is, however, one major problem. To choose the category of the card you must tap on the screen with the stylus but all five options are bunched up tightly at the bottom of the screen. This means it's very easy to tap the wrong category and end up losing that hand. When things are becoming tense it takes surgical precision and steadiness to tap on Monster Rating and not slip onto Intelligence, something that some, more giddy gamers may feel impossible and so will find incredibly frustrating. Great to see. I played TT in the 1980s, but collected these obviously with everything else with the DW logo on.

Working with Tom has been a delight – he’s really everything I had hoped and expected him to be. I was very nervous before I first met him, but he was funny and generous, and of course, wildly eccentric. I remember him making everyone laugh by remarking, ‘Isn’t it terrible about Brangelina?’, as they’d just broken up! The key card was the Silver Surfer, whose 10 for Special Powers was unbeatable. He was blessed with decent Physical Strength, too, so selecting Weapons was your only way of defeating him. Then you had the anomaly of Galactus's Strength being only 8, while the Hulk's was 9. This effectively meant that despite Galactus being capable of destroying the planet that Hulk was standing on, he wouldn't be able to beat the angry green guy in an arm wrestle.

I remember when he was inside the Master’s mind (aka “The Matrix” in the serial “The Deadly Assassin” from October 1976) and got his foot trapped in a set of railway points… the figure driving the “train” towards him melded over time in my memory so that instead of me recalling it as a kind of “steam punk” looking person, it became a giant Robinson’s jam “Golliwog” and always was to me. It’s only recently I’ve been able to buy the DVD of the serial and re-watch it and was flabbergasted to see what it actually was. Mine was during a rainy caravan holiday in Beetham near the Lake District where the wonderful British summer had battered our static two-bed and our will to go out to play Swing-Ball into submission. All that was left to do was to play Marvel Superhero Top Trumps repeatedly until every stat and ability was ingrained into our tiny brains.On a separate note, does anyone remember the DW Top Trumps video game on DS and Wii, used to spend hours playing that!

I had to contain myself when I first heard his voice through the headphones – suddenly it was 1976 again. It’s been a real joy to work with him, and to hear him say ‘Hello Chris!’ when I arrive at the studio is still hard to comprehend. It’s almost as good to hear him call me Harry over the headphones… Travel through time and space with Top Trumps: Doctor Who! Join the Tenth Doctor and his companion, Martha Jones, as they battle monsters from across the universe! Would Brannigan beat Novice Hame in a cat-fight? Is the Dalek Emperor more monstrous than Bannakaffalatta, or will the Ood beat them all? So it's flawed, childish and eventually limited but can also offer moments that are utterly riveting. The way battles sway between each player as power-ups are used and seemingly unstoppable marches to victory are halted make it 'punch-the-air' exciting.These look a bit dodgy to me. Obviously they are official and all, but the cover cards are really bog standard, almost as if, because they’ll be hidden away in the tin, they don’t care what they look like. So it comes as a huge surprise to see a Top Trumps games on the DS. I'll admit my initial reaction was that it just seems such a waste of beautiful machine. Well, I soon changed my opinion once I got into Top Trumps: Doctor Who because it's a far more addictive game than it has any right to be. Hi Bob, loved this article. Tom Baker was very much “my Doctor” as I’m 48 years old now myself, making me around 8 at the time of Christopher’s drawings. To me, the whole Hauntology “meme” (hate that word) and the name Tom Baker are synonymous; those almost maniacal staring eyes of his… I used to suffer such nightmares from the scrapes he got into…

Further adding to the concept are bonus levels between rounds, which comprise simple memory tests. Complete them successfully and you go into the next round with a couple of cards' advantage.

I would get this… If it featured any new cards. This is really pointless for anyone who has collected all of the cards already! And if there are only 60 cards, then what happened to the other 120 cards from the other sets? There are three possible reasons:
