Life and Death

Hey WeirDOS!

Time for another DGC episode! In February we played Life and Death, the hyper-realistic, hyper-difficult surgery simulator by The Software Toolworks, published in 1988.

Florian ("rnlf") is back hosting this episode, but didn't play the game at all, so he's just posing lots of uninformed questions to the other participants in this show: our regular host Martijn ("Tijn") and recurring guests Richard ("Pix") and David ("DavidN").

* Foone's Death Generator for Life and Death

* Walkthrough of the game - probably the only way to play it and staying sane.

At the end of the podcast, when talking about Blackthorne (our game of this month), I was a bit harsh towards Blizzard for not making original games anymore nowadays. But only now I realise they also made Overwatch, haha. Sorry!
