Theme Hospital is a business simulation and strategy game developed by Bullfrog Productions and released in 1997 for PC and DOS. Players design the layout of a hospital and manage its day-to-day operations, hiring staff, building treatment rooms, and keeping patients and finances in order. In the tradition of Bullfrog's earlier work, including its thematic predecessor Theme Park, the game is characterized by a distinctly eccentric sense of humor that permeates its setting, characters, and the absurd ailments patients present with. Balancing the demands of a functioning medical facility against budget constraints and growing patient loads forms the core challenge across the game's campaign. Theme Hospital went on to sell over four million copies worldwide, establishing itself as one of the more commercially successful titles in the management simulation genre of the late 1990s.
