You've just caught your breath after about six hours of breakneck activity (excuse the reference) since you came on duty in the Emergency Room at Legacy Memorial Hospital. Before you have a chance to relax, the triage nurse bursts into your cubbyhole office bearing bad news about an accident the EMS squad has just called in. They'll be here in minutes! No time to rest, finish that donut or study up on severe trauma treatment -- you've got to move, examine, diagnose, treat -- in fact, you've got only minutes, maybe seconds, to make life and death decisions and the clock is ticking.
But, no need to get in a panic yet. In Legacy Interactive's Emergency Room 2, it'll be awhile before you get to the really tough cases. The road to the top of the doctor chain in fictional Legacy Memorial is filled with decision-making, analysis, diagnostic prowess, correct treatments and essential knowledge as you work your way up from medical student to Chief of Staff. Should the road be littered with bodies instead, you can count on being out the door, stat!
There are five major levels in Emergency Room 2, each dealing with specific rank and case difficulty. You'll begin your ER career at the lowest rank, medical student, and be responsible for ear and eye problems, abrasions and contusions -- simple stuff. The level of difficulty you'll face is determined by your success or failure rate of treating patients on a case-by-case basis. For each patient successfully treated, a new one appears in the waiting room with a problem from the next higher difficulty rating. All patients reflect their specific level of difficulty through a number (1 through 5) next to their names.
Conversely, if you fail to handle patients properly for two consecutive cases, the person added to the waiting room will be at the next lower level of difficulty, effectively forcing you to treat lesser ailments. As your successes accumulate, so does your point total and, subsequently, your rank. The minimum number of successfully treated patients by rank that leads to promotion is five to become an intern, 18 for resident, 40 for attending physician and 65 to become Chief of Staff.
Case difficulty beyond the aforementioned medical student level includes burns, dislocations, sprains and lacerations at level two and nose and throat problems, fractures and abdominal pain at level three. Tougher cases are encountered with level four trauma which includes breathing problems, chest pain and concussion. Finally, level five puts the player to the real test with gun shot or knife wounds and code blue (accident) victims.
A full work-up is required for each case as you prepare your Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan (SOAP) "paperwork." Each element plays an important role in how the patient will be treated and runs the gamut from patient complaints in the waiting room (if lucid) to final treatment and patient discharge.
Other features of Emergency Room 2 include 100 cases from which to choose (some with varying degrees of difficulty), a wide range of patient symptoms, live video clips and more than 40 medical tools. Cyber-doctors must become familiar with several locations within the hospital such as waiting, exam, imaging and treatment rooms as well as a laboratory, lounge and library.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
