Two disks, one data - one images, this is an old-fashioned adventure game. Movement and actions are achieved by typing commands.

The plot is that you wake up in a hospital room and have no idea how you got there. To find out what happened you need to do some detective work and search the clues across the city. Also speaking to people will give more information about what's going on.

Paciente 106 is controlled by typing your input commands. The game is displayed in both graphics and text, with the still graphics being quite atmospheric.

Actions and movement are down by typing in commands at the text box. Using "EXAMINE" command you can search for clues and the environment. To move to different locations you use direction commands like "NORTH", "SOUTH" or "ENTER", "EXIT", "UP" or "DOWN".

If you're not used to this type of command interface then it can be quite off-putting, indeed I spent an absurd amount of time just trying to discover the right commands at the beginning. This is a real shame as it seems like an intriguing game.

It's probably a simple command to get further ahead but time is ticking away and I can't fiddle about with the game forever.

Get your trousers!

A good-looking game marred by its insistence on exact commands.
