----
The importance of the'''colonoscopy''' and how much it dominates the mindset of human beings is reflected in art and media throughout history.

#In 2013, Playstation released a video game called ''Colonoscopy 2016'' which finally brought the colonoscopy home to the video-game generation. Game-play is first person from the perspective of a gastroenterologist, thus making ''Colonoscopy 2016'' the first-game scoper game ever created. The game garnered positive reviews because of the variety of patients (such as demented and anticoagulated) and scenarios (such as drug allergies and dirty colonoscopes), which provided endless hours of gameplay. Plus the unique scoring system for rewarding retroflexion and identification of the ileocecal valve while penalizing bowel perforation added to the value of the experience.
