Description Virtual Surgeon: Open Heart is the fourth and unfortunately last medical simulation game designed by Dr. Myo Thant, a Timonium oncologist whose first game Life and Death became an instant classic when it was first published by Software Toolworks. Virtual Surgeon is undoubtedly Dr. Thant's most ambitious project. The setting and gameplay will be familiar to anyone who has played Life and Death: you are a hospital's newest doctor on the block. A cardiovascular surgeon, to be exact. Your job, of course, is to save the patients' lives by correctly diagnose heart diseases and effectively treat your patients. Like Dr. Thant's previous games, Virtual Surgeon is a very realistic medical simulation. The game teaches you examination, testing and surgical techniques, and then puts your skills to the test. You will be assigned patients and presented with various conditions which must be accurately diagnosed and effectively treated. If you succeed, you will be lavished with praise from the grateful patients, and get promoted in your career. On the other hand, failure could mean death of your patients and subsequent lawsuits from grieving families, and a setback in your career. Virtual Surgeon takes advantage of CD-ROM space by including a lot of multimedia elements. You can now explore the hospital from the first-person perspective and talk to other hospital personnel played by digitized actors. The in-game library contains a lot of in-depth reference material on various heart diseases and surgical procedures, presented via video clips and text, although you should be prepared to climb a relatively steep learning curve the first time you play the game. Fortunately, the first few cases you have to deal with are relatively easy, and the complexity will increase gradually as you progress. You are also allowed in the beginning to view instructional videos during surgery, and be guided by a senior surgeon. If you still find the game too difficult, you can reduce the difficulty level from Attending (intermediate) to Fellow (beginner). If you are a real-life cardiologist or want the ultimate challenge, play the game on Professor (advanced) level and see how many lives you manage to save. As with Dr. Thant's previous games, Virtual Surgeon: Open Heart is a unique, complex, and realistic medical simulation. If you enjoy Life and Death but want more challenge and have the patient to spend many hours learning the game, check out this true underdog. For Windows ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE Place a Bid!
