I remember Doctor Who: The Adventure Games fondly for its engaging narratives that weren’t possible in the show back in 2010. It featured original compelling stories that tried to replicate the episodic format of the show. Players primarily controlled the Eleventh Doctor and his companions at the time which were Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Early episodes enabled fans to face off against iconic aliens from the show like the Daleks and Cyberman in stories heavily inspired by their serials in the 1960s. However, later episodes in the game become more ambitious even featuring returning aliens (Vashta Nerada and the Rutans) we never got see Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor interact with in the actual show. The game’s also packed with collectibles, easter eggs and references to both classic and modern Doctor Who up until 2011. As a Whovian, I’m jealous that Star Wars and Star Trek have so much of their gaming libraries preserved and accessible across GOG and Steam. Doctor Who currently doesn’t have that luxury. Regardless of overall quality, the brands past games deserve to be preserved.
Awesome game featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith! Would love to see this on GOG, considering you can't get it anymore on Steam. This game features several "Episodes" as it were where you travel in the TARDIS with Amy and the Doctor. It features great exploration, neat puzzle segments, fun stealth elements and tons of adventure.

Where in America's Past Is Carmen Sandiego?
Where in America's Past Is Carmen Sandiego?This game is widely considered the most informational game of the entire series. Though it may contain some minute differences from the main series, it remains true to it. This game's aim (as the others' are), is to capture Carmen's gang of thieves, one by one until all of her henchmen have been caught. This is done by searching for clues, trailing them, identifying them and finally, bringing them in for trial. After all of the henchmen have been caught, the player must then go after Carmen herself. One of the main differences is that the player can receive in-game help.
