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!!
I loved the game back in the day, and was excited to play it again, but this version is not mac compatible in my opinion. There are so many glitches its embarrssing. You research attractions, but the part where you buy them remains empty 90% of the time you click on it. When the items do eventually show up, you click onto it and something entirely different is purchased (from another category entirely) half of the time. When buying stock for your shops (once you eventually get some), you can only add ice cream - the fries store isn't there to buy stock for despite having space in the warehouse, funds to buy stock and the shop there, waiting for stock to sell. Gutted it isn't playable on MAC. (brand new macbook pro too, so 100% within the minimum system requirements). The game is amazing when it works, but this versionsadly doesnt work.
