Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Life and Death is a medical simulation game released by The Software Toolworks (who would eventually go on to make Mario Is Missing! and Mario's Time Machine) for the DOS PCs and Mac in 1988, with ports to the Amiga, Atari ST, and Apple IIGS following years later. You must diagnose, treat and operate on patients. It is generally known for its painstaking realism in surgery and overall difficulty.It was followed by Life and Death II: The Brain in 1990. Playing a brain surgery sim is more like running through a very long, difficult checklist than anything, but drat if using a bone drill on a patient's skull isn't more tense than some entire survival horror games.The original game focused on abdominal surgery such as appendicitis and aneurysms, while the sequel focused on brain surgeries like tumors, subdural hematomas and... aneurysms.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Some gameplay footage of the original can be found here. The sequel can be watched here.It has no relation to the webcomic of the same name. | |

Artistic License – Medicine: While the game is more accurate than a lot of other games and shows in this regard, it still has its moments. You, the surgeon, are responsible for setting up the IVs, turning on the anesthesia, and monitoring the patient for abnormal rhythms. All of these are jobs that would normally be done by someone else— the former would be done by one of the nurses in all likelihood, and the latter two would all be handled by the anesthesiologist. The sequel has you dealing with PCO2 levels as well, and switching the respiration between low/high, which is also something that would be handled by the anesthesiologist. In the second game, if a patient has shellfish allergy, you're not supposed to order a CAT scan for them, because it uses iodine contrast. Shellfish allergy being caused by iodine allergy is a common myth; they are actually completely unrelated. | |

Autopsy Snack Time: In the second game whenever a patient dies, the morgue staff will be eating a pizza in front of it. | |
