Sadly, this TARDIS has to obey the laws of physics as we humans know them. It only travels one direction in time: forward, at a rate of one day per day. Its volume on the inside is exactly as indicated by its dimensions on the outside. And there’s no Time Lord pouncing about all of creation inside of it.
What better way to transport yourself back to the time of arcade dominance than an actual time machine? Simon Jansen obviously has too much time on his hands, being the man behind the ASCII recreation of the original Star Wars film, and now we know where he’s been getting all of that time. Not only did he build his own version of Doctor Who’s Tardis, he stuffed it with a folding MAME cabinet so he could play games from the past! Jansen has painstakingly documented the entire process, including a picture of his lizard, which I am positive was integral to the project. If I lived in a bizarro world where I didn’t need to work and sleep in order to survive, I would have two of these.
