After that you would normally get to the main menu to select what you wanted to do, but in the menu, something else happened. I then got to the player select menu where you just needed to type in your name. The Bullfrog logo appeared as normal and the intro began as as normal, too. After the download was done, I was brought to the installation progress which took only a minute to do, and then I got to play the game I always loved to play so much. The download was rather quickly done, I'd say after 5 or 6 seconds, which was strange, too because normally such a download did take a while. I clicked on the link as soon as the website loaded. It was completely black with only a photo of the game's cover, and under it was another link that would start the download. Maybe I was just stupid or overjoyed, but I did not notice at first that the website the link brought me to looked a little strange. So I went online and looked for a download of the game, and after half an hour I found one. Sadly, my mother sold my game at a yard sale, she thought I didn't love the game anymore. It was such a long time ago when I last even thought of the game. I thought to myself what other games can I play? Then I remembered Theme Hospital and was overjoyed. I then got bored on the Sims 2 and closed the game. My parents were both going shopping that day and my brother was watching some TV. It was the year 2007, ten years after the release of the game and I was playing some Sims 2 on my old PC because I did not have anything better to do. I wish I still had it to this day though, but. This game, my friends, played a large role in my childhood and it still remains one of my all time favorite games for PC. The graphics where as cartoony as you can get, and there were really funny diseases in the game like bloated head or slack tongue. That's right, you needed to make twelve hospitals, and reach a certain goal in each hospital in order to beat the game. Eventually, it wouldn't be only one hospital, but twelve hospitals you needed to manage. It was, as you would expect it to be, to start your own hospital and compete with other hospitals to be the best. I mean, obviously over the course of writing this post I downloaded Theme Hospital and played the first mission again.In 1997, Bullfrog Studios, a pretty unknown game developer released a hospital management game called Theme Hospital. CorsixTH adds things like support for modern high resolutions, but I do believe it's not quite complete yet. You might want to try running it in the open-source replacement engine CorsixTH, which you simply plug the game's data files into. Sure, it only usually costs £3.99, but Origin isn't that demanding and hey, at times in my life, four quid has been my food budget for a week. It runs in DOSBox, so you don't even need to open Origin once it's downloaded. It is free on Origin right now too, as EA's latest 'On the House' promo freebie to tempt people into using Origin. It is tricky, funny, and jolly satisfying. You lay out the hospital, fill rooms with equipment and trinkets, hire staff, and try to keep things running smoothly and profitably. Heaven help you if your waiting room collects a backlog of patients with The Squits. ![]() They might have long flapping tongues, literal iron lungs, delusions of Elvis, or. It's a Bullfrog management sim about running a hospital and curing patients' wacky diseases. ![]() Bullfrog's fine comedy hospital management sim is currently free on Origin, see, but I can't go pop the balloonoid noggins of people suffering Bloaty Head or mock people in blue suede shoes with King Complex because ugh I have to write a thing for the Internet about how Theme Hospital is a great game and free on Origin right now. Can we all knock off work early? If we stick together, surely The Man will be powerless to stop us as we march in unison out our offices, taxis, shops, warehouses, workshops, fields, pools, forests, and skies to go play Theme Hospital.
