Developed through joint research by Fuyo and the Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, the life size plastic body contains a blood vessel system that runs from the groin to the cerebral artery, as well as a circulation pump and pressure control circuit used to realistically simulate blood flow and pressure in the body."

remember that game? did anyone ever get far in it? I was quite young when playing and didn't have a manual so maybe that's why all the patients tended to die..
