Doctor Who: The Eggs of Destruction by Forktoss

The Doctor and Peri arrive in Russia in the year 1915, and are quickly called to meet the reigning Tsar, Nicholas II. The Tsar's ailing son is being treated by the mysterious monk Rasputin, but is there more to the self-proclaimed divine healer than meets the eye? And why on Earth is the master goldsmith Fabergé forced to work in the palace basement, making one of his famous jewelled eggs to Rasputin's specific instructions?

if you drop the old plans you can not get them again. Absolutely necessary to win the game.

Thank you for your comments, rcsjr1951, and thank you especially for pointing out my little pronoun problem - I must have gotten so used to writing things around the Doctor for most of the game I forgot to account for the change in gender, and I'll do my best to fix that soon.

Out of interest, I would love to hear some of the ways you rendered the game unwinnable. This was something I tried my best to avoid, but it's certainly possible there are still a number these snags in the game, and I would like to go back and try to fix them. If you can find the time to do a brief explanation of what you experienced either here or in the game's forum thread (http://textadventures.co.uk/forum/games/topic/svr7hazf7uymujvsiba0vq/doctor-who-the-eggs-of-destruction), I'd be very grateful.

Thanks for playing!

Really enjoyed playing the game. It can be made unwinnable very easily. The nice thing is that it is short and can be easily replayed and worked around. Nice puzzles and interaction between characters. Only one little typo type problem. When you refer to the Doctors companion toward the end of the game you always refer to her in the masculine tense. Other than that it was a really enjoyable game. Just wish it could have been longer.

Nice short game with an interesting twist in use of graphics for the story board. Well written and fun to play. Easy to make the game unwinnable but short enough that it isn't really a problem. Definitely worth the time if you like Dr Who.
