Operation is one of those classics all kids should have. I am always looking for games that teach something too. This one is one that definitely works the fine motor skills and hand eye coordination and patience. It also teaches some general anatomy. The new one is stupid. Cell phone parts!?!? i remember playing this as a child and loved it. It is so nice to see some of the classics coming back in the original forms. I hate what they have done to so many of the classics.
