Previously Take

An 86 average from its 223 true believers. A strategy game for the planners — comedy, business as the backdrop, outthinking as the game. The story is the main course; the multiplayer is the reason it's still installed years later. Released in 1997 and aging better than most games from last year.

About this game

Theme Hospital is a business simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1997, in which the player designs and operates a hospital. Like most of Bullfrog's games, Theme Hospital is permeated by an eccentric sense of humour. The game is the thematic successor to Theme Park, a game also produced by Bullfrog. The game was a massive commercial success, selling over 4 million copies worldwide.
