Theme Hospital

Theme Hospital is a humorous hospital‑management simulation developed by Bullfrog Productions for MS‑DOS, released 1997. As hospital administrator, you design and build your private medical facility from scratch. Layout consultation rooms, wards, pharmacies and special treatment equipment. Hire doctors, nurses and handymen, manage staff morale and payroll. Treat comical fictional illnesses including Bloaty Head, Slack Tongue and Invisibility, each requiring dedicated treatment chambers. Balance budgets, hospital reputation and epidemic emergencies. Multiplayer mode allows up to four players to compete against each other. With distinctive British satire and cartoon isometric graphics, Theme Hospital remains one of the most beloved DOS business sims; open‑source engine Corsix‑TH enables modern‑day play。

These games get the keyboard directly — the controls are whatever the game itself defines, usually in its own help or options screen. Gamepads are detected automatically. On phones you get on-screen buttons.
