LGR - Life and Death - Apple IIGS Game Review

- Put on your surgeon's mask and gloves, it's time to operate! Life & Death puts you in the shoes of an abdominal surgeon fresh out of med school. While the goal is to save lives, whether or not you want to play by the rules is up to you.

I love how the game tells you that carving "FART" into a patient "wasn't the proper procedure".
That'll teach em to eat beans! 😅 I died laughing!
Wow all those little extras included with the game like the fake letter and cool booklets. You just don't get those extra touches anymore, now you're lucky to get a 2 page "manual"
Where all the manual is just basic controls and seizure warnings.
Right!
yeah and the actual tutorial is mandatory in EVERY game rather than printing it in that book so that it doesn't conflict with the experience of the game itself.
Unless you get the collector's edition. Then you'll be hard pressed to find space for all the plastic tat.
I honestly miss that. I remember being seriously excited when Working Designs rereleased the LUNAR series on the PlayStation back in the day, and where most companies would have just pushed out a simple port and been done with it, WD rebuilt the game from the ground up with bonus features included, included a soundtrack CD, a Behind The Scenes DVD including outtakes and such, and threw in a hard cover instruction book with concept art, comparisons between the original and rerelease, and a "getting started" strategy guide. /That/ made me excited about games again... so of course the company collapsed. =(
I remember cutting open patients, dumping all of my tools in them, and then sewing them back up and sending them on their way. Those were good times....
so, the patient woke up, and his skeleton was missing! anyway, that's how I lost my medical license...
Your profile pic fits your comment well!
Dr. Pepper is that you!?
MEDIC
ARCHIMEDES, NO! Its filthy in there...
I don't think you realize something... One of the very first videos I did here was a quick review on The Sims 3. That got me my initial audience. Around this time I also started pursuing my other interests in vids, like vintage hardware/software. The Sims games are a part of my life & a big part of what I do here. It's always been this way on this channel and will stay that way so long as they keep releasing them. I still do way more retro vids than Sims ones, I don't see why you're complaining.
I feel like i found a gem from the past
@@Litepaw I wonder to which comment he was replying to hahahaha
@@karlagerman-skrinjaric6548 same haha!
What happened to the thumbnail? Now it shows the scene with the phone instead of the Title Card with the name of the game.
Aw you didn't include the scream when you cut into the patient without anesthesia. Aaaaaaaah!
That scared the piss out of me the first time it happened
2:00 That mask would be a huge selling point at this particular point in 2020.
I was just about to say the same thing lol
And 2021. Darn! I thought I'd be the first one to comment during the pandemic! lmao
And the title screen at 2:20 too.
Great now i hate all of you! Good Job!
Yeah they helped so much 🙃
Dr Pepper... is back
and he's come for MORE
DICKS.
Cheeseburger Freedom Man lmao
Holy crap, LGR looked creepy snapping that glove on.......
lol yea right
heh, its like a Surgeon Simulator 1988!
Dang it I just made that joke
@@xxxslyraiderxxx8945 oops
I had the PC version, no pager/copyright system. I could never properly operate on a patient. The scalpel would always kill the patient, and a screen of red would descend. Those manuals would have been some help...
Indeed! Stay tuned for more on this :D
I need to buy the game for the mask and gloves. You know, shortages and stuff.
You were right "Someone comes with slight discomfort, put him under the UltraScan and see what his insides look like". If you want to see if his/her aorta has grown prematurely
I almost died laughing when you put on the mask and gloves! Best served at 0.25x with the most ominous music in your collection!
So I see we all flew to the comments after seeing the mask and gloves 💀💀
This is one of those games that had my family convinced I was a psychopath just because I'd be cracking up while carving patients up and listening to them scream. ;/
It still convinced me that you are a psychopath, 30 years later
Are you?
this game looks awesome! I've never heard of it, and all the little features like the mask and gloves and the small booklet on surgery and even the copy protection... it really shows how much love was put into this game. thanks for showing me this! I'm gonna go download this now...!
2012 - Comes with a mask and gloves - what a funny concept!
2020 - IT COMES WITH A MASK AND GLOVES?! - I WILL GIVE YOU $200 FOR THAT GAME!
No. Sorry. I think I've said this to you before, but I got rid of it because it was more trouble than it was worth. Lots of people complained about it being unnecessary and somewhat aggravating, and I agree. It did nothing to improve the video in any substantial way. Stats show that most skipped it or left the video before it was done. Plus I had it for a long time and I got bored of it. It's not coming back. I will continue to tweak the current intro, but the old ones as they were are done for.
Actually, the graphics are arguably better on the Mac version even though they're in black and white. The resolution is higher and the graphics are more detailed, so it's a bit easier to do surgery.
Ah, that music right in the beginning. Budbrain Megademo (Amiga, 1990)
And the end sections of it were totally NSFW.
little did we know how important that mask would be 8 years later....
DOCTOR PEPPER
DOCTOR THUNDER
(is back)
I freaking love Carnivores. What an intense hunting game, especially when you get past the herbivores and start going after the straight up carnivores. Incredibly satisfying to walk around your trophy room after a successful hunt, hehe. The later games in the series are pretty good too, but the original two games are still my preference.
Are you using that mask and gloves?
Which name, phreakindee? Just like it's spelled: freak-in-dee. It's also said several times in the Slag Voss interview on my channel.
5:28 I noticed that you used the DOS version of Life and Death for the "FART" operation, but when you're explaining the operation mode at 6:10, it's the Apple IIGS version. How so?
Simple: I switched over to the DOS version there, since the IIGS version doesn't allow you to just cut patients up like that.
Ah, I see. I figured something was different with those versions.
kingcrimson234 XD That would be hilarious!
lucky that Joel got the DOS version, then
Yeah, no... this predates Trauma Center by 17 freaking years.
Makes the game as tough as possible. Patients die easier, surgery is harder, the deadlier diseases are more common, etc.
It's extra punishing when your head doctor is Luke Skywalker.
More like a grumpy old Han Solo.
Surgeon simulator 1988

...Is that Joseph Stalin? Well shit.
Good thing he got a taste of his own medicine when it came to having a knife put threw his skull.
Leon Trotsky, you sure don't like Stalin. Which is understandable
It would have been nice if you would have demonstrated what a successful surgery actually looks like.
I did, at 07:06 in the video! Granted, it wasn't a flawless operation, but it was successful. The dude just tells you "congrats on the surgery" and that's that, you move onto the next patient.
Lazy Game Reviews Thanks for responding to me. Are you certain it was successful? Because at 06:55 it says "Oh no! We've lost the patient!" Or do you mean you succeeded at some other operation and just jumped straight to the "winning" screen?
Chuckler127 He meant 5:55
Indeed it is. Expect to see more of it soonish.
Wow, that hospital in that game is rather lenient on botched operations, "you fuck up, look at a blackboard for a few seconds and come back again"
I played this game once...
Operated on every patient without any diagnosis...
I think Toolworks needs a psychology simulator
LGR predicting the future at 2:09
dr. pepper is back
Note to self: Don’t let Clint operate on you!
Omg! This would today be called "ultimate limited platinum collectors edition" and cost 150$ ( season pass w/"nightmare mode" excluded)
You realize that only a few videos a year are on Sims expansions, right? The vast majority of the time it's other stuff that I cover.
And actually, according to my analytics numbers from TH-cam, the largest number of those who watch my videos are 13-17 year old girls...
Good review, have you played life & death 2?
I reviewed Arena last year, look on my channel. Haven't done Daggerfall yet but I'll get to it someday.
Why, because I make videos featuring old games I must be copying him? Come on now, seriously?
I'm sure you get a lot of requests, but i think you'd really enjoy Metal Mutant. It's truly bizarre looking and was an interesting attempt at a new type of action puzzle game. I played it on DOS but I'm assuming the Amiga version is better quality.
2:10 Francis
"You'll be sorry Pee-Wee Herman!"
Not according to the stats I have. Seriously, most people either skipped or left the video entirely due to the intro. I got lots of emails all the time about how it was aggravating, or they heard the intro music and thought they were being Rick Roll'd. Nobody seemed to say anything positive about it when I used it, and now all of a sudden a few people want it back. I can't win, so I'm not even playing that whole "intro" game anymore.
Yes, but they just don't release stuff as often as I do. For instance Pat just released a new NES Punk review the other day, and JewWario is also on RWTV now with his You Can Play This series. But I'm one of the few that release something new every week. A lot of them stay pretty darned busy with other things, like running the site, working on The Video Game Years and all sorts of stuff behind the scenes.
Surely “staph” room would have been a better misspelling?
...that sounds freaking AWESOME, actually.
If anyone wants to see it, all they have to do is watch any of my older videos. The intros haven't magically disappeared from them or anything :)
2:18 I spi a raspberry pi! would you, by chance, review that glorious little machine at some point?
I played this as a child. So cool back then. Just wanna say I'm so sorry to the npc's who suffered so horribly at my juvenile whims
God, I just tried playing the DOS version of this game. Note to everyone: do NOT attempt surgery without a guide! Following a guide I made it all the way up to closing the patient, but I missed a few steps and gave them the wrong drug by accident. We lost 'em. I was so devastated.
5:00 Must...resist...urge...to recreate scenes from The Naked Gun...
Well facial hair growth differs for every male and not all types of beard looks good on all guys. I used to date an Italian guy that got really annoyed because he couldn't grow a proper beard. It would grow in small patches and some wouldn't fill in. Ofc I teased him about it often. Then I had Portuguese boyfriend who i made fun of because he was so hairy. He would literally grow stubs on his face hours after shaving. He looked like a skinny Santa in about 1,5 week without shaving.
I use a composite to HDMI scaler and capture with an AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD internal capture card.
Cool looking Apple computer.
You're talking about Life and Death 2- The Brain. You can play it through DosBox emulator and it's free to download on Abandonia :)
Nope, unfortunately it's not on GOG yet.
A parody of everything Microsoft. I'll have a video on it soonish.
Comes with a mask… This game was ahead of the times.
Aha! I see it on your shelf: Whiplash! I'm dying for you to do a video on it--love your vids...
You should review Life and Death 2 someday, I haven't seen may videos about that game.
2:02 mask and latex gloves - now that's the game for 2020!
funy!
We need a remake of this with mod support
Odd for the Amiga not to be the best graphically!
2:05 who would have thought that bit was foreshadowing our future in 2020
Certainly considered it, yes. They're underrated for sure.
LOL I remember that game on DOS, I never had a successful surgery. This is why I am not a gamer of anything more advanced than Galaga. XD Great review!
2:06
oh sweet jesus, that is a scary sight, i feel like he is either about to remove my kidney or leave me in a ditch.
That will give me nightmares :P
Time to visit thrift store to get a box for that sweet, sweet mask and gloves!!
Loved that game! there was also a Neuro surgery version too. spent a lot of hours of malpractice!
I wonder if the diskette still worked.
There was a guy on 1,000 ways to die who tried to preform liposuction on a buddy with a shopvac in his garage.
Yes
What does Nightmare Mode entail?
More problems
Lupus.
Chicago/Detroit on full moon
I have fond memories of emulating this game back when I was like 10 years old, I had extreme difficulty finding the numbers for the pager thing, and actually managed to get someone (I believe I found them on some forum) who still had theirs to personally email it to me so that I could play the game. Good friggin times.
2:04 Forshadowing the future.
After hours and hours playing this game, I'm convinced I could perform an appendectomy or a blood clot removal.
Now as for life and death 2, hell I could never get past drilling out a piece of skull.
Nice review.
The MS-DOS version has the best scream
Masks and gloves... Nailed it in 2020!
You're awesome, Clint. Myself, and no doubt many others, certainly appreciate your videos & the work that goes into them. :)
I remember playing this in middle school, and I've been trying for years to remember what it was called. Good thing I found this video.
So, what's the nightmare mode about actually?
Probably a little creepy
DR THUNDER IS BACK
Trauma Center!
Mask could come in handy now
Dr. Doctor Pepper report to the classroom.
"That'll teach him to eat beans." Hilarious dude. Well done!
Wow I finished the dos version back in the day and I was never aware of the fact that you can change your signature.
Have to replay that.
Greetings
I got this in a compilation boxed set with like Chessmaster and such, PC. Did anyone else have this? I can't even remember if it was on floppy or CD (the compilation), much less what else was on it. It is where I learned that almost any problem a person has can be traced to the appendix, though, which needs to be removed, NOW.
why don't you take all your videos and divide them with 0! than you have an unlimited amount of youtube videos!
This games bullshit! I just watched you do a surgery, hell I watched walkthroughs on this, but no matter what I do every time I finish the first incision, the surgery ends with me having failed.
I really enjoyed this game as a kid. Hilarious commentary btw.
I could never do the appendectomy right. I'd always end up nicking the cecum and spilling liquid shit all over my patient's insides. And no matter how well I try to clean it all up, then pump the patient full of antibiotics, I still get shit for it and the surgery's considered a failure.
2:01
epic forshadowing
Reminds me of Trauma Center and Trauma Team. A bit more modern take on the uhhh... Hospital genre.
Holy cow! I remember my older brothers playing this back in the day. Good times. :D
hmmm.. i always thought that the Amiga-version was the best, but this one is actually better. Great video, got a good laugh with the signature :D
