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.

As addictive and funny as ever

I never played this game back in the 90s, but loved other SIM games. (Theme Park / Rollercoaster Tycoon / Sim City etc). When I saw it available for pennies recently, I decided to pop my Theme Hospital cherry - I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED! This game is addictive, funny and submersive. I found myself sucked back into the "I can't stop playing until I have completed this level" kind of addiction I haven't had with SIM games since CAESAR III took over my life back in the day. If you're looking to lose yourself in offline gameplay for a few hours, while laughing at the bonkers illnesses and staff bios, BUY THE GAME ALREADY!!

Funny and Brilliant in equal measure

I first played this game by accident back in the 1990's and due to it being a hospital simulator, it wouldn't of been in my disc drive normally but this is one of my favourite games of all time. I have chocked up 76 hours of play on GOG but the real figure is many many more hours as it's clever, funny and brilliant and it fits in my top 10 games of all time. I have looked at this game 20+ years on and wondered how it could be improved and yet I really don't think I would change it. Buy it if you like to laugh ( this game has illnesses like TV personality and bloated head disease) , you like Dungeon Keeper 2 ( and let's face it, if you've played it , then you are bound to love it) , you like Sim City, You like Bullfrog Games ( let's not forget the game the world Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park and Syndicate) or just because you love incredible games. Buy this game if you love any other type of game than FPS games ( you really won't appreciate this game).

Wow!

I got this game in a bundle package with other games back when I had my first ever computer. That was like 8th grade of elementary school, maybe 7th. And I still have the CD! The game is fun, it's addictive. The music is bouncy. From all the theme-based games I've ever played, Theme Hospital is still my favourite. And it's iconic too. You get to employ nurses and doctors who aren't happy even with whatever wage you give them, you get to shoot mice in the hallways. Sometimes when you get an epidemic there aren't enough janitors available to sweep up all the vomit. It's hilarious, I love it. Definitely worth it.

Very good game, lots of fun.

I'm so glad to see this game on gog. I have spent hours playing it, the graphics are cute, funny and it is a challenge to meet some of the goals. A highly enjoyable experience if you like simulation/building games.
