Theme Hospital - DOS PC Game Review - LGR

Bullfrog's Theme Hospital is like no other management sim you have ever played. Well, except for maybe its predecessor Theme Park. Still, nothing like a little bloaty head and slack tongue to start the day off right!

Also check out the remake project, Corsix-TH:

I forgot to add that the last official patch for the game added multiplayer capability. Serial and modem connections allow for two players to compete in building the best hospital while competing against two computer-controlled hospitals, while the IPX/SPX option allows up to four players to compete against each other on a network for the best hospital.

Have you bought these old PC games when they were new, or have you done so afterwards?

[phreakindee]

@latuman Some I've had since they were new, most I've collected in the past 6 years or so.

@cashmachineband Great! Although now I wonder what abnormal Windows is...

I sucked so hard at this and theme park when they first came out, I was under the illusion I was actually doing well when in reality I barely got 10 mins into the game without having to restart lol.

This was the only computer game at an after school club I went to for those children whose parents didn't love the enough to pick them up at home time, I was about 7, none of us really understood this game, we borrowed loads of money, built massive staff rooms with tvs and just generally ruined the game because for us it was an acheivement to get to the second level, I bought it a little while ago, and started to play it on our ancient computer, 4 words I LOVE THIS GAME :)
