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?

Easily one of my favourite strategy games. I find it amazing that this game has held up so well, with so little competition.
I think the closest thing to it would be Prison Architect, but nothing else yet has managed to emulate this style, this fantastic gameplay and brilliant humour that Theme Hospital has.
If you get it, I'd definitely recommend also grabbing CorsixTH off Github - it's essentially a rewrite of Theme Hospital which allows it to use higher resolutions and allows it to run natively on Windows, OS X and Linux.
I did purchase this game when it was released; spent nights and days playing it, over and over.
Addicted? Yes, but not because it was just the excitement of the moment, the game really shine in the longevity department.
The premise is simple: build rooms to get patients in, cure them and make money. More money means more rooms and more equipment; so the progression is the ABC of game design.
What make the difference is that it is not complex, UI wise; so anyone can pick it up and play; it has the "5 more minutes" effect, which glue you to get to the next level or to see how long can you go, in the same level, before move to the next. And the comical factor, is also important...this game does not take itself seriously at all! The diseases are weird and funny; death itself is something that you look at and laugh about it, although you feel sad for the poor guy.
Graphic is ancient; but it won't really affect your perception of the game, you can play it today and still feel better than newer games, because the cartoonish graphic in pseudo-isometric view is bearable. The UI is something that I never liked, color wise, but it is clean and easy to use.
You will find yourself building rooms, re-arranging them, moving things around often, and dealing with the shifts, since if you leave it to the AI, most likely all doctors will take a break at the same time, so you need to be smart and drag half tired people in the recreation room to recharge, so you can always have someone ready to take patients. The game has different difficulty; but what change is mostly the number of patients, so you will naturally raise the difficulty once you feel comfortable, it is not a chore to do so, but natural and organic.
IF you like funny games that simulate hospital, with a pleasant graphic and a ton of funny jokes and replayability; just get this game and enjoy it for long time!
