What Are The Most Educational Surgery Game Available Online?

By Dan Foote

Surgery games are both fun and educational. They teach you a lot of key points about the body such as how diseases can affect your health and what doctors do to diagnose and treat these illnesses. They allow the every day person to experience what it is like to be a doctor and perform life altering operations.

Since surgery games are so educational I get asked a lot, what surgery games are the most educational ones? This is best explained as most of them are very educational in their own way, but lots of them focus on different parts of the human body so you should decide which one sounds like it would be the best to you. Keep in mind that a lot of the games that I am going to mention are very old and will require you to run DOSBox in order to run them. Instructions for this can be found at the below site.

First the Life and Death series is a prime example or a great series of surgery games that were made for the old DOS based computers. This is an amazing educational game that was way ahead of its time. You get to make the normal decisions that a doctor would make such as diagnosing your patients and operating on them.

Edhead games are another great example of very educational surgery games. These, however, are very simple flash games when compared to Life and Death. They are very educational though and teach you about things such as knee surgery, and hip surgery games.

Yet another fun and educational game is Laser Surgeon: The Microscopic Mission. This game is a little more hand eye coordination oriented but still offers the same educational value to it. So if you have steady hands and want to play a game that takes knowledge and skill than you will greatly enjoy this game.

While there really aren't a lot of virtual surgery games readily available online when compared to some of the other genres the ones that are available are a blast to play. I recommend looking at all of the available games and seeing if one catches your eye and trying it out to see if surgery games are for you.
