Looks interseting DD

Was there set questions or something that it gave answers for?

Here's a video of the game that shows it works well

Re: The Magic Robot

There was a reincarnation of this with a Dalek in the centre:

The Doctor Who Collection of Richard in Essex
almost to the bottom of the page...

I always found the look of the robot a little sinister, but I once ran across a cartoon strip which was either the inspiration for the robot, or had taken the look from the toy!
In the cartoon it was enormous, with human operators inside the head...

I have no evidence for this at all, except this one odd memory.
Too many modern giant robots on the web.

Re: The Magic Robot

I had this game as a child, thanks for bringing back the memories. Anyone else out there remember board games ... Millionaire and Zoo Quest ?
