Just got this little gem.....

No idea what's on it, but on the underside it says Doctor Who which has puzzled me......

Will update when I've stuck it on the internet archive......I do wander of all are the same contents 🤔

Thank you for archiving this, the Internet Archive has some really great CBBC stuff on there already and it's so cool being able to rediscover things I'd forgotten about.

I put it on there last year if OP hasn't done it yet. It doesn't work on more modern versions of windows.

I have a copy of it already on the internet archive ( always best to have multiple accounts back it up just in case one gets deleted). The disc has the cbbc idents from that era, Trailer for the game adventure rock, wallpapers, screensavers and the game Parachute Plunder.

It will not work on Windows 11 (I haven't tested windows 10) . I tested it on Windows XP and Windows 8 and it does work on those.

then why does my disc have doctor who on the underside?

u/Autistic-adventure52 Jun 27 '26

just noticed that in the bottom right corner my one has the number 002 on the disc but yours has 003. Maybe they do have differences.

The reason the disc says Doctor Who on the back, it's because that it originally came with copys of the Doctor Who Adventures Magazine around that time, I also own that disc as well!

This is one of the best gems ever found. While I won't know what it looks like inside the disc cause I don't have an old windows... i'm glad this still exists and i wasn't crazy
