highly addictive classic with a great sense of humor...read on
Theme Hospital is a classic. Coming out back in '97 when the whole "tycoon" style game genre was just getting started on pcs. This game gave me hours upon hours of quality gameplay as well as laughs.
In Theme Hospital you take control of putting together a decent hospital while trying to handle the constant pitfall of events, emergencies, & scenarios. Constructing your own hospital is fun to say the least as is hiring/firing staff. I have never played a game with a sense of humor like this. Staff bios read "enjoys teasing small animals. smells like cabbage" etc. Illnesses range from reallife to completely absurd. You'll see people come in your hospital thinking they're Elivs ("the king complex"), while others come in with abnormally large heads ("bloaty head syndrome").
Perhaps my favorite thing about the game is the amount of detail they put in every nook & crannie. From people wetting themselves & or vomiting (which often sets off a chain reaction of other people ralphing) to the lady announcer who says the funniest random things that always catch you off guard.
I can honestly say this game is great for anyone. Fans of the genre or not. It's been almost 10 years now & I can still come back to this game with an ear to ear grin. Anyone who hasn't played is really missing out on a classic.
