Shocking Sick Puppy is "Operation" for a New Generation

Japanese game manufacturer Mega House has come up with a winner. Biri Biri Kaze Hiki Wanko (which, translated, means Shocking Sick Puppy) is a cross between seminal kids' game Operation, where you had to remove various parts of a patient's anatomy with a pair of wired-up tweezers, without letting on to your parents that you'd swallowed the best part of a bottle of bourbon the night before touching the sides, and that equally seminal '70s plaything, Slime. A fearsome mess of green snot and drool emerges from the dog's mouth and nose, and you have to pick out plastic "germs" embedded in the ectoplasm. Trouble is, if the metal tweezers touch the slime, you get an electric shock. Out in Japan this August, Shocking Sick Puppy needs a worldwide release if it is to realize its full genius potential.

HULK LIKE OPERATION GAME!

Remember "Operation," that buzzing fishing-for-organs game we played with as kids? Well, Hulk fans will soon be able to dig around inside their hero with a pair of electrified tweezers too, when Hasbro brings out their Hulk-themed version. Clumsy surgical action will make his eyes glow green and he'll howl apparently. What do you think of that, Hulk? HULK WARN YOU, ANESTHETIC BETTER BE REAL STRONG!

Operation Pen Makes Playing Doctor Fun Again

While we opted not to go to med school—a choice that we celebrate every day by working in our underwear (though also a choice we regret after catching ourselves in the eye once with a Wicked Laser, true story)—the scales may have tipped were this Operation Pen around several years back. Your favorite game on an obnoxiously oversized writing device, the organs are even fastened to the game with string so you don't lose all the pieces during your first particularly shaky weekend after losing rights to that prescription pad.

The Etch a Sketch pen is neat, too. Both run $5.50. [Product Page via nerdapproved]

Latest by n/a: I've seen both of these at TOYS R US or CVS drugs for a while now. The Etchasketch is usually really horrible, and the line isn't straight usually, it's all askew. I never tried the Operation one. But it's cute for nostalgia's more »

Shocking Autopsy: Shocking Gameplay

Operation was a fun game, but fatally flawed (no pun intended). The sad fact is that no game can hold the adult attention span unless there is a strong possibility of someone getting injured while playing. More »
