Got this game for my daughters (5 and 3yrs old) as one of their Xmas gifts. They think it's a riot. I had the original operation game when I was a little girl, and this new version looks a tad... cheaper. It just doesn't look as sturdy as the original game back in the 80s. What irked me the most though, is that when I opened it, there were 3 pieces missing. There is supposed to be a bag of 3 internal pieces, but for some reason they were left out. Anyhoo, I called the Hasbro toll free number (it's listed in the instruction booklet) and talked with a friendly rep who said she would send out the missing pieces to me. I got my operation game at Toys R Us for a steal: $7.99.
