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.

Still a great game

It's still a great game, same fun as in the 90s. BUT, there are some bugs (like, the receptionist is behaving like a furniture), and later on on the game, there are very few new things and it tries to expand game time with huge amount of money and LOTS of cured patients as level goals.

One of the best simulation games ever

There is a lot of strategy required in this game, but it is worth it. It starts out easy enough, but later levels take serious strategy. You have to figure out the proper layout of not only where to place the rooms, but items in the room to make it the most efficient. The only annoying part is placing radiators throughout the hospital. Graphics haven't aged too badly as well.

A true timeless masterpiece

Theme Hospital is one of those games you can enjoy even today, one of those games that manages to make you laugh and, at the same time, makes you think of to beat the ever-growing difficult levels. Both gameplay and design are something to behold for how they manage to be humorous and still pleasant to watch. On top of that, this game laid the foundation for a new genre of videogame s, practically a true milestone for the video game industry. Soooo, yes, a must-buy!

Classic

Great classic game. As a child, I thought that such games would develop more and more. But unfortunately this did not happen. GOG please add games "Las vegas tycoon" and "Crazy factory"
