There are even crazier diseases like "Hairyitis", "Invisibility" and "Spare Ribs". For instance, you'll get an awful lot of Elvis Impersonators (a disease known as "King Complex") who are cured by "A Psychiatrist telling the patient how ridiculous they look". The greatest joy in this game comes from the wide variety of bizarre diseases, as well as the in-game documentation about these diseases. Not to mention the fact that emergency situations occur often, in which you'll need to provide treatment to a lot of patients within a very short period of time, including the time it takes for them to disembark from a medical helicopter and WALK to the treatment room, and wait in line for the nurse! Of course, distance between the various facilities is very important: doctors need to reach the bathrooms and rest areas quickly so they can get back to their jobs more often, and patients don't want to spend forever walking the hallways between the various diagnosis and treatment rooms. On some levels you can also spend money to purchase extra adjacent buildings to expand your hospital.

Narrow corridors and rooms without windows are likely to end up bankrupting you. Each mission map is limited in space and usually can't comfortably fit everything, so you need to make sure to skimp on space as much as possible while keeping rooms roomy enough - otherwise everyone (including your employees) will get moody and leave.

The underlying gameplay, as in similar games like Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius, is space-management. It's very important to make sure not to overspend too early on new machines, as it takes a while to build up a reputation so that more patients will come in to pay for that higher-quality treatment. Janitors run around cleaning up vomit and trash, and also need to fix your medical machinery (which is likely to explode if overused). Doctors must be trained in various specialties like psychiatry or surgery. You also need to hire a staff of doctors, nurses and janitors, and provide them with relaxation areas (and ample salaries). The objective is to have these patients go through as many diagnosis procedures as possible, sucking out their hard-earned cash in the process - but you also need to find out what illness they have and cure it before it actually kills them! Worse yet, they could easily get fed up with your hospital and leave - lowering your reputation.īathrooms and soda machines must be placed down, and patients need somewhere to sit while they wait for the doctor to see them.

As soon as you open the front doors though, the patients will start streaming in. Then you set up corridors and waiting areas, hire some staff, and maybe decorate a little.

You start out with an empty building which you must divide up into rooms, then equip these rooms with whatever technology is available to you for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. In each level you will be tasked with some objective, usually a financial one. Sounds boring? Not with the diseases you're going to be asked to treat! Theme Hospital is a 1997 video game created by Bullfrog Productions, a tongue-in-cheek Space-Management Game that places you in the shoes of a cartoon-hospital manager.
