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." |
