Theme Hospital

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 - 11:11pm — Corsix

For the past two months or so, one of my side projects has been writing an open source clone of Theme Hospital. I recall Theme Hospital as being one of the great classic games I had when I was younger, and it's sad to watch it slowly become harder and harder to play on modern operating systems, with modern hardware, and with modern conveniences (like 3-button mice, screen resolutions larger than 640x480, and so on). A game like Theme Hospital really deserves a decent open source clone, and so I thought I'd have a stab at making one.

You can find downloads, source code, an issue tracker, etc. over at Google Code if you're interested.

I love it

Thank you for your work on the best game I've ever played, all new games are nothing compared with this!
We are waiting for the stable version :D

Looks fantastic

I, and many people I know, would be eternally in your debt if you completed this project. Such a well-loved game deserves bringing up to speed with the computing world! I wish I could help but, alas, I know nothing about coding so can only offer my support. And ditto the comments above about testing.

Thank you

Thanks a lot, I have been trying to run this game in my Vista 64 bits and it was impossible... I would really love to play it again, I'm really in debt with you.

AMAZING!!!

Your work is totally astounding. I think I'll be spending the rest of the day reading through the source code- because I've stumbled across OpenTH and seen their work- it's all a bit messy, with random dependencies everywhere, without a standard way of building the darn thing without Visual Studio...
How you did what you've done in 2 months of summer is ... just simply amazing. It's so beautiful...

Ooooh!

Loved that game... The bizarre maladies were the best.

Cool stuff

Looks really great, nice rip of all the graphics and copying of the functionality there, looks perfect given the progress in only 2 months :)

And it is a game I still infrequently play (like every few years on and off), I never finished it - got so close to the end once, but some of the later levels are so tedious to start with.

Add in some networking play (co-op!) if the games singleplayer is reproduced would make my day. Give me a shout on steam if you need a tester sometime, too, I can give up some hours to do rounds of bug finding even if I don't think I could offer any coding help right now :)
