[--- Just saw RoboCop --- loved it! ---] Does anyone out there have any experience with the Surgeon program for the Amiga? It looks like it could be the perfect birthday gift for a med student friend of mine. Is it fun to use, does it ever crash? Does it run with expansion RAM? Is it more of a game or is it actually meant to be a simulator? (I think he would find this truly amusing...) Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu

I am a friend of the person who converted the Surgeon from the Mac to the Amiga; as such, let me try to answer some of your questions. Yes, the Surgeon is fun to use. I have not know the Surgeon to crash, the person who converted it was a good programmer who has owned and written programs for the Amiga for about two years. The Surgeon probably works with expansion memory, although it may not make use of it. Yes, the Surgeon was designed as a simulator. The company that wrote the Surgeon is owned by a doctor. The Surgeon simulates only one type of operation, although it seems to do that one quite well. (Also saw RoboCop - loved it!)
