It’s a man with a case of invisibility who had to tread through litter and vomit to what he thought would save him, only to drop dead the moment he left the pharmacy after treatment. ![]() It is unfortunate, but he must die in my quest to create the world’s worst hospital. With only a twenty percent chance of a cure the game informs me, normally it would be wise to send them away so that they don’t die in my hospital-a bit coldhearted, but a patient dying in your care negatively impacts your reputation meter, although the consequences of that aren’t generally something you ever really feel or notice if you’re trying. My first patient death is quick to arrive. There are no handymen to clean up, and I intentionally understaffed this hospital. The first patients to arrive swiftly make frequent visits to the vending machines, then proceed to vomit and litter. Ordinarily, I’d have given them benches and plants all about the place to make their waiting experience as tolerable as possible, but instead they get a surplus of radiators that i crank up to max to make things unbearably hot and soda machines aplenty to milk them of their money. I hire the least competent doctors and nurses that are available and I intentionally keep them from going to their duties long enough so that a nice miserable queue builds. Of course, I don’t build a restroom to ensure maximum discomfort. I proceed to place every room at the back of the building to insure they have to walk as far as possible to even visit the general practitioner to find out what care they need. Generally, you want to put everything like the general practitioner’s office and pharmacy at the front of the building so that patients don’t have to walk very far. This is the first of many stages with its own challenges but being your earliest hospital the player is given it serves as an introduction stage to help you get to grips with the game’s mechanics. Nothing much to start with, but the tools and funds at your disposal to begin constructing rooms and hiring staff. When thrust into the first level of the game, you’re presented with an empty building. So, this review will focus on my first ever deliberately bad hospital. As challenging as this game can be, it’s actually disappointingly hard to fail at when you’re trying not to. Despite all this time playing, I’ve never run a terrible hospital. I can run a fairly competent hospital, churning out a healthy profit while getting in good graces with every VIP that visits and bolstering an impressive patient cure to death ratio. I’ve played this game the same way for years. Developed by Bullfrog Games in 1997 and published by Electronic Arts, Theme Hospital is possibly the only game among the very few that have even tried to do hospital management right. Theme Hospital is all about every aspect of running your very own health care institution, from hiring the professional employees that will work to cure your patients to laying down every plant and vending machine. The big, fast one? Somebody with big-time money, then.Have you ever wanted to manage a hospital? Me neither, and yet there’s a strange charm in playing a game about it. Had the gang war he'd hoped to start already begun? Clark took that in and did some supposing. There were some curious things there, but not the right size and shape to be machine guns. One shined his flashlight into the back of the Subaru. The police were looking at the passing cars, but not searching them. Well, the Kevlar's supposed to stop stuff from tearing your skull apart, and the mop we wrap around it breaks up your outline - makes you harder to see in the bush, sir. The Cabbage Patch Hat? The major smiled, his eyes closed. We got a carrier group operating offshore. Is it that bad? My brother told me he lost a really good - squad leader? Anyway, is it that big a deal? Clark's evaluation was more professional. Somebody blew the shit out of them, Larson noted. The best part is I can get the hell outa Dodge right quick if I got to. We deploy as a unit and usually don't lose anybody that way until we come back home. I fly fighter planes when I'm not driving a desk. Serving two-to-three in the Pentagon at the moment. You know, my brother wears one of these things. Jungle and tight country is where we work. Regular training rotation for one of our battalions. ![]() This was mainly a reconnaissance exercise, trying to get inside to gather information, conduct a few raids, that sort of thing. It's like the horse collection at Churchill Downs. The big, fast one? Somebody with big-time money, then.
