![]() CorsixTH adds things like support for modern high resolutions, but I do believe it's not quite complete yet. You might want to try running it in the open-source replacement engine CorsixTH, which you simply plug the game's data files into. Sure, it only usually costs £3.99, but Origin isn't that demanding and hey, at times in my life, four quid has been my food budget for a week. It runs in DOSBox, so you don't even need to open Origin once it's downloaded. It is free on Origin right now too, as EA's latest 'On the House' promo freebie to tempt people into using Origin. It is tricky, funny, and jolly satisfying. You lay out the hospital, fill rooms with equipment and trinkets, hire staff, and try to keep things running smoothly and profitably. Heaven help you if your waiting room collects a backlog of patients with The Squits. They might have long flapping tongues, literal iron lungs, delusions of Elvis, or. It's a Bullfrog management sim about running a hospital and curing patients' wacky diseases. Bullfrog's fine comedy hospital management sim is currently free on Origin, see, but I can't go pop the balloonoid noggins of people suffering Bloaty Head or mock people in blue suede shoes with King Complex because ugh I have to write a thing for the Internet about how Theme Hospital is a great game and free on Origin right now. You can also just build it directly, here's the GitHub page for the project.Īlso, if you don't want to bother with Origin, the game can be purchased from GOG, otherwise you can probably find someone selling an old CD version if you look around.Can we all knock off work early? If we stick together, surely The Man will be powerless to stop us as we march in unison out our offices, taxis, shops, warehouses, workshops, fields, pools, forests, and skies to go play Theme Hospital. I also found a guide that should work for Ubuntu, but I can't vouch for it since I'm not currently using Ubuntu. I suspect you could probably just copy that specific directory over, but I haven't tested it. Doesn't matter though, once it downloaded in Origin I was able to get it running pretty easily by installing corsix-th via the AUR, moving the game data to a different directory since I don't plan to keep Origin around ('~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games/Theme Hospital' was where I found it), and pointing CorsixTH to the 'Theme Hospital/data/Game' directory where I had copied the game. Origin seems to install well enough via Wine to download this, but barfs when trying to install the game. I was going to post about this, but I see this thread is already here so I'll just leave a comment. ![]() We know spam when we see it and will delete it.
