 very fun game April 11, 2008
this game is really fun, despite it being as old as it is, it seems as though the, the sims serious was copying this game because they both seem to play alike a little bit. The graphics are good, but the gameplay is really fun, i highly recommend this game to anyone that likes simulation games.
 Easy and fun January 19, 2008
This is a game I dig back up every other year or so because it's easy to play and a lot of fun. The only thing I have to criticize is that there is only a limited number of diseases, machines, etc. After a while, the main challenge is not so much to develop new treatments, but to treat an increasing numbers of patients. It becomes a little repetitive. But it's still fun.
A Hospital Where The Staff Are Just As Funny As The Patients October 7, 2007
I love the pc game "Theme Hospital". You design rooms, hire and manage staff, cure patients, research diseases, kill vermin, and invite officials to check out the hospital (to award grants). Every once in a while, you will receive an invitation (depending on how well you are doing in the game) to oversee a bigger hospital and get a promotion.
When I receive an invitation to go to another hospital, I usually turn down one or two offers (don't worry, they'll keep coming) until the other hospital offers a better salary. At the end of each level, a statistics sheet appears and you can see how many patients you've cured, killed, what your hospital rank is and how much your hospital has made.
At the bottom of the game, you can click a screen to hire staff (doctors, nurses, receptionist, maintenance men). Be sure to look over their qualifications carefully before hiring them or you may end up with a lazy doctor who kills more patients than he cures. The same is true for the nurses. When a patient dies, the Grim Reaper usually appears to take their soul away. .
Maintenance men can also get lazy. Click on the maintenance man and adjust the level of their duties to perform certain tasks. Hire one maintenance man to only pick up garbage, another to water plants and another to fix deteriorating hospital equipment. All staff will get tired so make sure that you build them a staff room. They may also occasionally ask for raises. You can choose to give them a raise or fire them.
In the advanced levels, you will receive bigger hospitals. You can buy more buildings to house other rooms such as The Inflating Room, The Cast Remover Room, Operating Room, Ward, Research, Training Room and more. Once the rooms are built, the game will tell you which staff member (doctor or nurse) can perform in that room. If you run out of money, you can borrow money from the bank. Just be sure to pay them back ASAP to avoid high interest charges.
You will know if you have lost the game when a newspaper heading appears with a scandal written about your hospital.
Micromanagement fun! July 25, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a pretty old game, so you probably won't be impressed with the graphics. I played this about 10 years ago and still love it.
Basically you manage a hospital. You are responsible for building different types of rooms, hiring nurses/doctors/handymen/receptionists, and control your in and outflow of money.
I'm not sure how many levels there are since I've never beaten the game, but there seem to be plenty. In order to move onto the next level you will have to meet the goal of curing a certain number of patients, maintaining your popularity, and earning a certain amount of money. Sometimes the game throws in curve balls in the harder levels such as epidemics.
I cannot think of what other game this game is similar to, but if you like micromanagement and challenges, then you should probably give this a try. But don't forget, this is a pretty old game so you may not have the control and graphics of today!
Classic game but this is not BullFrog..this one is Sold-Out software May 1, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I used to play this game for a long time ago and I'm glad to have a chance to play it again. This is a fun game and in my opinion, it's not as difficult as SimCity.
It's a lot of fun watching many weird operations or weird patients walking around the hospital.
Anyway, the graphic I remembered is kinda better than what i'm looking at so don't expect much about the graphic. The game is just fun by itself
However, I want to buy the original one for my collection but this one i got is from sold-out software. It would've been perfect for me if this software was an original.
