Alright. I admit it. It's just a guess. I've never played in a game that had gnomes, surgery, and currency based economics, so I can't prove that surgery is one of those things that's effected by size category. I just get the gut feeling that since gnomes are small, the higher precision detail work required for performing surgery on them would command a price multiplier.

I found www.nesfiles.com a while back.  For the NES junkies out there like me, Nesfiles is a site that allows you to play emulated NES games in your browser.

Let's face it. Our memories aren't what they used to be. It's true for all of us, though the old guys like me do feel the pinch a bit more acutely. Add to that that game systems are constantly changing, we're always trying new games, genres, and systems, and that we've got our own games to plan and it's plain that quite a bit is going get ...
