  I loved this game when I was a kid, but for some odd reason this game came back in my college days as a drinking game. Buzz?? Take a shot. Another buzz? Take a shot! I don't think I could even play this game sober. See? It's not just for kids!

  This game is great for hand-eye coordination, and it teaches (at least a little bit) about anatomy. As a five year-old, I had great hand-eye coordination -- once, I ran my Atari through my VCR and taped myself playing a game of Asteroids for 4 hours -- but I was always terrible at this game. My hands shook too much with nervous energy, and when that buzzer went off, I always jumped about a mile into the air. Luckily for me, a couple of years later I discovered alcohol. Man, there's nothing like a drunken seven year-old whipping the pants off of adults at this game. It also was a great diversion when I was sitting in the Child Protective Services offices on weekends, but that's a whole different story. Put it this way: Do you want your kids playing Operation, or do you want them going over to little Billy's house and playing Doctor? That's what I thought.
