While I couldn't find any images of gameplay, these are two interesting articles related to the game. The first one talks about how the game was put into a high school and did relative well, as students approached it more as an actual video game than educational software. The second, rather humorous article talks about how terrifying the idea of serious games are. Training surgeons with video games?

An educational game released for the SNES teaching gamers how to control asthma issues. You play a dinosaur that has to take control of his own asthma with breathing exercises and asthma power-ups, while defeating the evil forces of smog from your planet.

Some good links and comments. I don't think they'll be training surgeons purely using video games! Anyhow, I'd rather they practiced on a virtual body before they started cutting into me.
