Though it may sound a touch turgid to the uninitiated, Theme Hospital was truly engrossing, punctuated by its wry sense of humour. Released in 1997, the game allowed players to build and operate their own hospitals, including planning the building’s layout, purchasing and maintaining machinery, researching medical conditions and hiring staff.
Classic business simulation game Theme Hospital is available as a free download to anyone signed up to publisher Electronic Arts’ Origin download software.
