Awesome but...
Awesome game, even better when we know that it's abandonware (not distribute anymore by the rights-owner) so... hum, 6$ ?

Theme Hospital
Description
It's a matter of laugh or death in Theme Hospital™, another installment of the Theme series. Design, maintain and manage a hi-tech hospital facility, making the most of limited resources and turning cures into cash. The Grim Reaper stalks the corridors, the ill have some very odd ailments, and the staff want to play doctors and nurses together. No matter how you look at it, you're in control of a very sick hospital.
If there is one word that describes Theme Hospital then it has to be “hilarious.” Almost everything in this game is made with great dose of humour. You might think that someone's illness is not a laughing matter but wait till you see a patient with KingComplex dressed as Elvis or serious case of Hairyitis caused from prolonged exposure to the moon. Finding treatments for such diseases is a part of your job, but there’s no prescription to cure the insanity that may result from trying to figure out those cures. You start off small with an empty building, a few doctors, a general diagnostic, a pharmacy, a reception desk, and a few other necessities. From there it’s up to you to move your way up in the health care industry.
A hospital simulator is not something you might consider a good theme for a game but the guys from Bullfrog Productions were famous for creating innovative and fun titles from the craziest idea--and Theme Hospital no exception. This game is a piece of art and definitely the best “hospital” simulation so check it out. Our diagnosis: fun!

- Polished & detailed management sim with extra helpings of crazy.
- Hilarious humour will accompany you throughout the entire game, in this strange hospital of yours there is always something weird and funny going on.
- Be everything the national health care system shouldn't be; there is no place for mercy and altruism in this game - you can’t buy yourself a new car with that, can you?
Multiplayer is available only over LAN.

a punch in the face.
i got too much irritated that i could not write a title i wanted so thats why i writed as i did. I loved this game from when i was only a small kid and i growed up with some of the best DOS games ever including this one. But i dont know if its after that GOG have done something to it that there is verry many bugs. like the mouse that some times gets locked in the side of the window so you need to shut it all down. But there is of course also still good things from the game to remember. the great old nostalgic music and sound. Well i think mostly its that, that hits my thoughts. but its not a game that is easy to complete any more because of the bugs.. this is things that NEEDS to be said and only is fair that all that wants to buy this old great game, can read to know what they can end up see or meet of good as well as bad things in this game.

Terrible Game
The controls are horrible, the scenario's so easy and asinine that you almost beat them on accident. It's missing critical features needed to make the game bearable(I.E. the ability to slow down or speed up play easily). While the humor might be funny, you'll never actually see any of it, as you're to busy running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
