Another freebie at Origin. This time its Theme Hospital. Note has been free before. Just checked the ozbargain archives - last time posted by NGPriest here
Here's the spiel:

Design, maintain and manage a hi-tech hospital facility, making the most of limited resources and turning cures into cash. The Grim Reaper stalks the corridors, the ill have some very odd ailments, and the staff want to play doctors and nurses together. No matter how you look at it, you're in control of a very sick hospital.

If there is one word that describes Theme Hospital then it has to be "hilarious." Almost everything in this game is made with great dose of humour. You might think that someone's illness is not a laughing matter but wait till you see a patient with KingComplex dressed as Elvis or serious case of Hairyitis caused from prolonged exposure to the moon. Finding treatments for such diseases is a part of your job, but there's no prescription to cure the insanity that may result from trying to figure out those cures. You start off small with an empty building, a few doctors, a general diagnostic, a pharmacy, a reception desk, and a few other necessities. From there it's up to you to move your way up in the health care industry.

A hospital simulator is not something you might consider a good theme for a game but the guys from Bullfrog Productions were famous for creating innovative and fun titles from the craziest idea—and Theme Hospital no exception. This game is a piece of art and definitely the best "hospital" simulation so check it out. Our diagnosis: fun!

    Ah, the memories.

    "Can Patients Please be Patient?"
    "Patients are asked not to die in the corridors!"

    Time to fire up that 10 year old laptop given the minimum specs to run this game.

    Great game back in the day. Just remember to keep on top of maintenance, otherwise machines blow up and once dead cannot be removed taking up valuable space.

  • huntress_love on 08/03/2017 - 08:28

    Love this game, always wish they had a sequel.

    What's with the minimum specs?
    I still have my original copy, and it ran on a Windows 98, 32MB RAM, Pentium@233mhz

    • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2017 - 11:42

      Idonotknowwhy you would still own that

      • idonotknowwhy on 08/03/2017 - 11:45

    Hi,

    Is this game good for learning medical terms ?
    If not, any alternative?

    Thanks a lot.

      Maybe not, unless you want to fail and/or go to jail for being an absolute quack. ;-)

      Sure, you can learn about "slack tongue", "bloated head syndrome" and "TV personality disorder"

    • theHMASfriendship on 08/03/2017 - 18:10

      Yes.

    What a classic.

    Also, check out CorsixTH, which is a re-implementation of the original Theme Hospital.

    Thanks added to my collection.

  • hawktalk on 08/03/2017 - 11:09

    Had the game many years ago, purchased it on GOG back in the day…. still jumped at the chance to add it to my Origin list the last time it was free. For those who have not played it before, it's a fun thrill ride, building hospitals, helping patients…. trying not to kill them etc. Highly addictive game play.

  • DauntingEarth on 08/03/2017 - 11:43

    I can add the game into the library without downloading the Origin app, thats handy

    Syberia II is the On The House freebie this month if you VPN through the USA, Theme Hospital is for most other countries incl Aus. Once you add it to your account you can download without using the VPN.

    Check out CorsixTH while you are at it, a great mod that makes the game a lot more playable on modern systems.

    Syberia II is also available FREE on the house @ Origin if you use a VPN with US exit node.
