TOUCAN'S TRIVIA: This
game is a port of the original Intellivision
version from 1982. Both the TI-99/4A and Intellivision versions
were
programmed by Rick Levine. |
TOUCAN'S TRIVIA: There
is one known Easter Egg in this game, if you listen to the voice that
comes
across during gameplay it sometimes will say "Paging Doctor Levine".
Doctor
Levine being Rick Levine, the programmer of the game. |
TOUCAN'S TRIVIA: Programmer Rick Levine had the following to say about Microsurgeon: "As you noted, the
audio and the hospital room graphic were the main additions from the
Intellivision version. As in the Intellivision version, there is
a tiny graphic in the game that spells out "Rick". That's about
it. I remember enjoying programming for the TI....Adding the
speech was lots of fun, and I
would have liked programming more games on the TI, but that didn't work
out." |
