I got a chance to pick up this game cheap, does anyone have it? Is it needed so that it can be AGA & HD fixed? If someone does have it could you please put it in the zone?

Is it an original in a box? I was never sure if it was shareware or not...

Well Retro, I can affirm that ...
I desinfected everything before making any possible incision, but my patient would always suffer from staphylococcus afterwards (i. e. after I sutured everything again), grrrrr.... :theparano:suspiciou
Since 1987, I've always been prevented from successfully finishing this game, by this very problem!
Hit the programmer!

Thanks Twistin'. Looks like it's going back in the database.

Twist, this doesn't happen to be YOUR ORIGINAL, no?
I'd love to know if there was a small manual included in the original package telling me what to do apart from the mini-help I get when selecting one of the tools...

(sigh) unfortunately my original is long since lost. But I thought I remembered a doc file or something like that existing for this game somewhere at some time. I'll just have to scan my docs disks to see. Unless someone else has a copy.

Sorry, I know this is not much help...

Thread resurrected.

I can now prove that all copies floating around are BETAS:
(clicky)

That might explain easily why nobody has ever managed to complete these versions of the game successfully.

So, if anyone could please provide a retail version?
That would be great, also for SPS preservation.

I'm 99% sure that we also have to change the release date to 1987 in HOL. A lot of files on the beta disks are dated January 1987, only the main executable is dated 1986.
I'LL EAT MY HAT (promised!) if the main executable of the retail version is not dated 1987!!
