You might not think that a hospital sim could be so funny, but remember: laughter is the best medicine!

Welcome to the GOG.com clinic! As a treatment for typical symptoms of moderngameboringus--lack of creativity, no sense of humor, and mindless repetition--we recommend a wonderful insta-cure: Theme Hospital for a co-pay of only $5.99!

Theme Hospital is a hospital management simulation. You need to fill the empty building with all sorts of hospital equipment, starting from desks and file cabinets, to ultra-sophisticated diagnostic machinery like DNA fixer or Head Inflator: you know, equipment every hospital needs. Then you hire all necessary staff members like doctors, nurses, handymen, or receptionists, and once everything’s set up, treat patients as they come in suffering from a variety of humourous illnesses, including Hairyitis, Bloaty Head, and even Slack Tongue (caused by over-discussion of soap operas!).

Theme Hospital is all about the little details: staff personalities, patients vomiting, doctors chilling in the staff room, and fantastic comedic cutscenes. Your hospital requires not only the best staff and equipment but pool tables, soda machines, radiators, and plants to keep your patients and doctors alike happy. Fans of micromanagement will be pleased, but so will fans of fun!

Do what it takes to make the world a better place: pick up Theme Hospital for $5.99 on GOG.com today!

The funny thing is no one was saying they wouldn't be releasing *any* classic titles anymore, but I guess those that didn't quite understand the complaints might see it that way ;)

Awesome this is a must buy :)

As a reminder if you buy this you can use the assets from it (the HOSP directory) for:
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/

The open source reimplementation of code so get higher resolution etc etc .....

I hope the irony of your statement isn't lost on you.

The others were complaining about no old games after one week of "new" releases.

You are now claiming that those were wrong after one week of old releases.

We can only make a final judgement after some more time. And who knows, maybe all this bitching made GOG change their schedule...

Oh yess! I'm all wet! THANK YOU GOG!

As I said before, I'll buy it, without any doubt. But one question appears: why there's sooo few extra material? Only manual and 2 avatars? I can't remember a game that had so few... Anyway, a game itself is worth any money!

You can thank EA for that. Most of their releases are bare-bones like this. While I don't care much for extras most of the time, having a "manual" as bonus just seems a bit silly. Basically, EA's only giving us what came in/on the box/disc. As long as we keep getting more games it's good enough by me. With the exception of some missing expansions...
