Curing people one terribly managed hospital at a time.
About: Theme Hospital is a hospital management, simulation game. Players are given objectives and have to cure, manage, and make enough money to pass each level.
The game lets you mange a hospital by creating rooms, hiring employees, researching disorders, making money, and most of all, curing patients. The game has a fixed view camera that sometimes is an issue to navigate around but the seemingly simple game is very fun.
Why: Origin has the game as a free download for all PC gamers.*
Best Bits: The Bullfrog Productions developed game is indicative of the EA brand, that is, it is full of weird humour. Most of this humour can be found in the descriptions of disorders, employee descriptions, and the PA announcements.
Thoughts so far: While the game has the simple graphics from 1997, the game play is what keeps me coming back. Although it may be a tad off putting with the blocky graphics, it is still nevertheless entertaining.
I am enjoying the challenge of of trying to beat my ten year old self and get past the earthquake stage.

Sounds awesome! Have you tried Hospital Tycoon? That game is hilarious!

No, I haven’t tried it but I have heard of it. They both seem to be kind of kooky hospital games.

I think so. I have hospital tycoon on disc and it’s really awesome but it gets pretty hard actually.

Yeah old games kinda had a steep difficulty curve, like the first five or so levels were fine but then WHAM you’re hit with super difficult one!
