Hasbro’s OPERATION as a 1998 LCD Game? | BZZZzzzzzzztt!

Operation is a battery-operated game of physical skill that tests players’ hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The game’s prototype was invented in 1964 by University of Illinois industrial-design student John Spinello, who sold his rights to renowned toy designer Marvin Glass for $500 and the promise of a job upon graduation, which was not fulfilled.

Thirty-plus years later, in 1998, Hasbro published this handheld variant to bring the popular board game into the video game space. How did they do?
