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.

An Old Favorite

This game is an old favorite of mine. Any hospital game that lets me hire a bunch of doctors who are "burning up with hate" is win in my books.

Loads of fun

I've actually bought this game three times to replace stolen copies. I know I have the CD somewhere but having digital download is awesome. Why do I keep buying it whenever I see it? Simply because of the Tycoon games out there it's both fun and the difficulty level increases at a predictable rate. The payoff of extra difficulty is in getting new kit to outfit your hospital. So the game design is superb. Plus also the bonus rat hunt game is more fun than it should be :)
