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

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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. :D
