A classic
computer game, found at least on
Macintoshes since the mid-80's, wherein the player—presumably
The Doctor himself—moves about the screen one
step at a time, with the
Daleks making one step towards the player with each of their steps. The goal is to make all the Daleks walk into each other—at which point they
die—which is not terribly difficult, as they walk
blindly towards the player. The
danger lies in getting too close to a Dalek, at which point you die. Two methods of escaping the Daleks are available: a random
teleportation, which occasionally leads you to
death aside a Dalek, and the
Sonic Screwdriver, which can only be used once per
round and kills all Daleks within a small
radius about the player.
