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!)
