I just remembered a video game? computer game? from when I was growing up where you had to take medicine and you went into the body and tried to heal different things and fight virii and things like that....

Anybody know what I'm thinking of?

Could it be Intellivision's "Microsurgeon"?

My friend and I played it like addicts for years. We went through a serious Burgertime phase, but once we got a taste of Utopia, that was pretty much all we played for months. I'm getting that warm giddy feeling just thinking about all the hours we spent following the schools of fish around in our little boats.

utopia...LOL

But did you ever use rebels? We had to agree no rebels, unless the game was obviously over...The noise it made was enough of a deterrent...


Did you ever play Foodfight? I remember my friend having it, but I've never been able to find it online. You just picked up food all of the screen and threw it at each other..

We had an agreement not to use rebels until the last "year"....and then all the points we saved up from fishing, we'd buy as many rebels as possible for the other guy's island....that was kind of the whole point to our game. No matter how many times we played, we always thought it was so hilarious to bombard each other with rebels at the end. It's still fairly hilarious now that I think about it.

We also had an agreement not to use those attack boats to sink the other guy's fishing boats...we just thought it was too cruel to take away the other guy's livelihood.

Never heard of it, but sounds like something we would have enjoyed.
We played some Nightstalker, Tennis, and Baseball....oh right....we enjoyed Auto Racing too, especially looking for places to drive off the track and go exploring.....B-52 Bomber was good for awhile, too. We always bombed our own airport at some point so then we had nowhere to land. We found that amusing for some reason....that one is a bit foggy, we didn't play it much.

Was there one with four coloured lines where you try to box the other guy in??
