The Poorly Described Game... um, game.

[DeadPoolX]

I remember a computer game where my overall skill and competence could result in saving or killing people.

[Rath Darkblade]

Is this game an RPG? (You save the so-called "goodies" and kill the so-called "baddies")

No, it's not an RPG. This game is more "profession-based" than anything else.

[Tawmis]

Was this game made in the 80s?

[DeadPoolX]

Was this game made in the 80s?

Yes, it was made in the latter half of the 1980s.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm ... do you play a policeman in this game?

(If you do, then is it one of the Police Quest games?)

[DeadPoolX]

Hmm ... do you play a policeman in this game?

(If you do, then is it one of the Police Quest games?)

No, you don't play a police officer (nor is it one of the PQ games).

HINT: This game is more of a simulation (but not a military sim).

[Tawmis]

HINT: This game is more of a simulation (but not a military sim).

Does it take place on Earth (vs Fantasy/SciFi)?

HINT: This game is more of a simulation (but not a military sim).

Does it take place on Earth (vs Fantasy/SciFi)?

Definitely takes place on Earth, and it's not fantasy or sci-fi. This game strives for realism.

HINT: There's a strict procedure to follow and if you don't follow it, you have a good chance of screwing up and possibly killing someone.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm ... simulation, but not military. Not fantasy or sci-fi. Strict procedure to follow ... hmm.

Is it "Gold Rush!"?

[DeadPoolX]

Hmm ... simulation, but not military. Not fantasy or sci-fi. Strict procedure to follow ... hmm.

Is it "Gold Rush!"?

I'm not quite sure how you got Gold Rush out of those clues, but it's not that.

HINT 1: This simulation revolves around an important profession that requires years of education and skill.

HINT 2: This game is NOT a parser-based/point-and-click adventure nor is it an RPG or any combination of the two.

Correct! This game was nuts and my brother and I liked playing the game as lunatics instead of doctors.
