3	An [[FreewareGames Indie Game]] from 2002, [[http://osabisi.sakura.ne.jp/m2/games/medicalat0/ Medicalat]] is a three-level [[SideView side-scrolling]] ShootEmUp where a space nurse and her personal KillSat in form of a huge syringe take on endless waves of enemies in the veins of a person to defeat TheVirus who infects everything and everyone. A good game to fill pauses at work. Since the game is fairly old and therefore not compatible with [=PCs=] running Windows 10, using a Direct Draw-wrapper like DXGL is necessary to run the game at all.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* ChargedAttack: Collection variety. You absorb enemies or their bullets and load the KillSat syringe. This makes its spread shot wider and also fuels the WaveMotionGun.
7	* ChekhovsGunman: The other nurse first appears as just another enemy, but returns as a boss later.
8	* CuteBruiser: The player's nurse.
9	* CuteWitch: One of the enemy types. Some come with a warning.
10	* EliteMooks: Cyber sharks. {{Wave Motion Gun}}s come late in the game.
11	* [[ThreateningShark Everything Is Even Worse With Sharks]]: Rocket-powered cyber sharks.
12	* ExcusePlot: See the introduction line.
13	* ExplosiveOverclocking: Overcharging your weapon results in an explosive discharge, costing you all power and a health point.
14	* [[GiantSpider Giant Melon]]: The first boss.
15	* HollywoodHealing: Eat a red pill to fill up one health point.
16	* KillSat: Looks like a huge syringe and travels with you. It also is your WaveMotionGun.
17	* MegaNeko: The second boss is a giant cat-like balloon with a scorpion tail.
18	* MindControl: The other nurse is under this.
19	* MoeAnthropomorphism: {{Cute Witch}}es, devils and of course the two nurses.
20	* {{Mooks}}: Lots of them, from red blood cell and pumpkins to devils, cyber sharks and {{Cute Witch}}es.
21	* PowerUp: Three different pill types exist - red pills heal health, green pills recharge the KillSat up and yellow pills can convert energy into health.
22	* RedShirtArmy: Red blood cells and pumpkins do nothing but getting killed. On hard mode, pumpkins can fire back.
23	* RuleOfCool
24	* ShootEmUp
25	* SinisterGeometry: The third boss fight is again against the other nurse who upon defeat gets trapped in a crystal. Said crystal can fire spheres firing other spheres and diamonds that (on hard mode) explode when destroyed.
26	* SmallGirlBigGun
27	* SpreadShot: Your syringe KillSat and most enemies.
28	* TheVirus: The final boss.
29	* WaveMotionGun: Everyone! The player character has it, the other nurse has it, there are enemies whose sole attack is this and every boss has a variation.
