Violent games don't cut it

[The Valkyrie]

Hey Beccs, have you ever heard of a game called Surgeon for the Commodore Amiga? It was a surgical simulation and very educational. You had to repair an anuerism in a major blood vessel in the patients trunk area. You had all these drugs at your disposal and descriptions of what they did, scalpels, hemostats and other things I don't remember now. It was mostly trial and error because the game didn't offer a lot of guidance for the layman and this was long prior to the internet. Me and a group of friends never did fix him up but we managed to open him up, clamp off the bleeding and manage his blood pressure up to that point but then all his vitals would tank and he died. We were never able to figure out why. We got frustrated after awhile and tried to cut his dick off but alas, you could only wield the scalpel in the area of the arterial defect you were supposed to repair. I guess they didn't want to encourage sickos.

Never heard of it, though it sounds fascinating.

On a personal note, I know from experience what it's like to be on the receiving end of surgery for an aneurism.  I have a tiny amount of platinum wire in my brain.
