Personal review

Here's something original: an operating game. Players take the part of an aspiring surgeon who must correctly diagnose patients and operate if necessary. Only two operations are included, but they're very challenging. The graphics are not too bad for CGA. Sadistic players who start slicing without first administering anaesthesia are rewarded with a digitized scream.
