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 online surgery games are very educational I get this question a lot, what surgery game is the most educational? The best way to explain this is to say that they are all different and usually deal with different parts of the body, such as the brain or hip replacement. Also you should keep in mind that some of the games that I will mention are quite old and you will need to run a program called DOSBox in order to get them to run, which is explained at the link below.

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.

Next is Edhead games which are packed full of information and quite easy as they guide you through the surgery process. They may be flash games but they are anything but simple, they may not have as much content as something like Life and Death but they will still offer enough content to keep you occupied for quite a while.

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.

For an extensive list of surgery games online visit the above site. However, if you are looking for more information on Life and Death the above link will show you all the games they have made.
