Following on from Forum:Revisiting fiction with branching elements and historical policy therein, why is this still a non-valid source?

Doctor Who: The Game of Time & Space was a 1980 tabletop game set in the Doctor Who universe, designed by Derek Carver for Games Workshop. It was one of the earliest Doctor Who role-playing games, and is not considered a valid source on this Wiki due to its branching narrative.
The game is "for 2-6 players, 8 years and over". Gameplay used a board, which is divided into 60 "zones", as well as 76 Alien counters, 76 Scientific Item counters, 36 Key Mission counters, 95 Key Part counters, 6 Doctor Who Alien & Item files, 6 pawns, a twelve-sided die, and a rules booklet.
Summary[]
The Fourth Doctor and Sara Jane must race through the universe looking for the scattered fragments of the Key to Time, scattered across seventy planets. They must not only evade the dangers to be faced on these planets, but three old foes of the Doctor who seek to acquire the Key for themselves, as well as the Doctor's previous incarnations and their own companions, who are all seeking the Key in their own right and may end up interfering with his own efforts. Can the Doctor get the Key and get back to the Domain of the Time Lords on Gallifrey for the hero's welcome he deserves?

Notes[]
- The Master is depicted with a likeness resembling that of War Chief actor Edward Brayshaw, albeit without hair.[source needed]
- This story may constitute one of the earliest known narratives where Liz Shaw is travelling with the Third Doctor as a conventional companion in his TARDIS (whereas her televised era took place entirely within the Doctor's exile on Earth).
Continuity[]
- Susan is depicted as tall and blonde and with the name of "Susie", making her resemble an older version of Roberta Tovey's cinematic Susan from TV: Dr. Who and the Daleks [+]Milton Subotsky, adapted from The Daleks (Terry Nation), Dalek films (1965). rather than Carole Ann Ford's televised version from TV: An Unearthly Child [+]Anthony Coburn, adapted from The Pilot Episode (Anthony Coburn), Doctor Who season 1 (BBC tv, 1963)..
