Recently the board game Operation was listed as one of the greatest games of all time, and it made me wonder if there is a video game version of this idea, which would be essentially a surgery video game. It would be perfect, what with the motion controllers and such. And, it wouldn’t have to be just necessary surgery, either: there could be different modes of play, and one of the modes could be Frankenstein Mode, where you construct creatures, create mutant monsters, sew limbs and such onto existing people and animals, etc. Oh, the fun you could have creating new monster lives on one hand, and saving existing lives on the other! Plus, you could scan in pictures of your enemies and dissect them awake and alive, without anesthesia, in 3D, savoring every scream! And, the game lets you bill your victims, um, I mean, patients, and if they don’t pay, or they palm you off on Medicaid, you can steal their organs for the black market human organ trade! And the best part? No criminal charges, because despite being absolutely realistic, it’s just a game! And no matter what you do, you can never be “struck off”! It’s fun for the whole family!
Oh, and it might actually be a good tool for training surgeons. And mad scientists too.
That’s the surgery video game: get it and start slicing and grafting and sewing today!
(Actually, this game could also be called: “Mad Scientist”, and it would open up a myriad of further possibilities for medical/scientific atrocities, like atomic research into making giant bugs, genetically engineering werewolves and other were-animals, etc.! And there could be a punishment from God feature where the mad scientist gets his or her comeuppance for “meddling in God’s domain”, “trying to play God”, “dabbling with things man should leave alone”, or however you choose to put it, as in the 1930s horror films: it could be a bolt from the blue, a new kind of plague, demonic possession, and even punishments that third parties such as your local priest can think up and add to the game through online submission. Oh, and you get to defend your castle fortress laboratory against angry torch-wielding villagers in the usual first-person shooter massacre mode.)
