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.

Lag

I have Windows 8 with an Intel i7. But the game lags pretty hard. Even the intro isn't smooth at all. I have tried to set the compatibility of the .exe to Windows XP but didn't work....

Great for 2 levels

This game was great for 2 levels, then the bugs started. Unable to build anything after level 2 was completed. Patients randomly getting stuck, which drives your score down because they get mad. This may be a great game after level 2, but I would have on idea because the game doesn't work after level 2. Crap game.

Fun for about 10 minutes

This game is buggy and after completing a couple levels, it gets very boring very quickly. Not worth a single dollar.

The original was good, at least

It's a great game for its age, still enjoyable now, many hours of gameplay, lots to do, plenty of fun, memorable sense of humour throughout. Kinda annoying watching the staff wander back and forth at random rather than doing their jobs. Shame the GOG version is pretty buggy, game only loads properly sometimes, might need opening and closing a few times, and every so often you just lose control of the mouse cursor and can only quit the game and start over. Most likely not going to be fixed now, which is a shame, wonder if I can find a CD version of it that still runs...
