SaraB123: Okay, okay! I searched the site for a wishlist. Looked for some clue as to where to post this, but did not see it. Seriously, shouldn't there be a sticky or even better a tab next to Community, Support, etc? I just joined last night so forgive me - please! :}

Okay, I just found it under 'Welcome Please Read'. The ONE place I didn't look!

Roman5: Its ok - Dont worry about it

Hey, that's okay - I can admit my ignorance. And I think I'll enjoy GoG very much, thanks!

eyeball226: I GOGified my Theme Hospital. If anyone here owns it but can't get it working on their current computer I could help them out.

SaraB123: Eyeball226 - yes, I still have the game, although it may be on floppies (and me with no floppy drive!) - I can't remember. Anyway, since apparently it may never make it to GOG, I would certainly appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
Well, I suppose the first thing would be finding the disc(s). If it is on floppies then there's not much I can do to help you. If it's on CD then I should be able to help!

SaraB123: Snippity
I think I may know why your computer fails at start up. Its a nasty piece of software that doesnt seem to be found by the anti virus's yet (even though its pretty old)

I believe it is called Microsoft Windows Vista.... I feel your pain, I use the 32 bit version.

Apart from replacing the OS there is no fix, however this may ease the pain.

click the start bubble
In the search type "cmd" without the qoutes to bring up Command Prompt in windows.
when in Command Prompt type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" again with no qoutes,
sit back and watch...
Youll feel much better Knowing MS took the function out....

If you are curious then it may also annoy you but it would have shown this

I miss XP. *drifts of with memories*

Bye the way Welcome to GOG, I hope I didnt come across as an ass, I usually let people get to know me before I do that :-P

SaraB123: Does anybody else remember this game? Bullfrog Games, circa 1995. I would truly love to be able to play this again. They came out with a truly crappy thing called Hospital Tycoon a couple of years ago, which I ran out to buy thinking it would be an even better version of Theme Hospital, but it was godawful.
Oh God! Oh God! YES!! :|
Definitely deserves to be here, even with The Squits! :P


Anyone know when the new BIIIIIIIIG publisher with at least 26 games to add announcement is due? end of this month? Cross fingers for EA!

Eyeball - I checked last night - yes, it's on CDROM. Any help you might want to give would be appreciated. Thanks!
