Early '80s graphics and sound synthesizers make seeing - and hearing - human organs function a truly frightening experience. I bought Life & Death around 1988, back before most PC's had sound cards and only had the little speaker on the motherboard. It came as part of a cheap software bundle and didn't have any instructions. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/8/3/AAQwHjAAEaGb.png Woo! CGA graphics! I go into surgery and the first thing I do is pick up the scalpel. The nurse says something like "You need to give the patient anesthesia first." Really? I have to do everything myself? Fine! Remember I said there were no instructions? I start hunting for the stupid anesthesia and finally find a syringe labeled "A". "A" must mean anesthesia, right? I always thought they used gas for major surgery, but maybe that's just on TV. Whatever! I inject the guy with the stuff and nothing bad happens. I pick up the scalpel and the nurse doesn't say anything this time, so that must have been the anesthesia. (It wasn't.) I take the scalpel and quickly cut a giant square on the patient's abdomen. The computer started SCREAMING! It startled the heck out of me at first because I had no idea it could do that, and then I just burst out laughing at the absurdity of the whole thing. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:973008069] in what's the...
