Classic Theme Hospital on Sale at GOG.com

Unread postby News Portal » 16 Apr 12, 10:19 am

Bullfrog classic title Theme Hospital is back and on sale at GOG.com for the extremely reasonable price of $5.99. When it was released in 1997 the game sold more than 4 million copies globally, so whether you're an old-school fan from the days of yore or it was simply before your time, this darkly funny title is probably worth your 6 bucks. "Fans of micromanagement will be pleased, but so will fans of fun!", reads the game's description. Do you know any fans of fun?

I bought this game when I made my first pentium computer and it was such a blast. I am not sure if this version of the game uses the dos version with dosbox but the windows version of the game has graphical bugs, but they can be worked around with a batch file and closing explorer down with windows 7.

I installed my old disc a few months ago, been mucking up. Wish I had the old box though.
Gonna buy this, because I'm sick if it saying the disc is not in.

Problem with TH is it was not as good as it should have been, despite the fun that could be had…

OpenSource Beta Remake - http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/wiki/AboutBeta2

Theres also Hospital Tycoon but it wasn't as good as Theme Hospital.

I'd definitely try that one when it's completed. I wouldn't like the GOG copy cos there were some pretty annoying bugs in the original game. :(

Most annoying thing I remember was earthquakes damaging machines so quickly it was almost impossible to keep them repaired with handymen, losing rooms permanently really annoyed me.
