Download the appropriate installer or package from the Releases page.
The short version
Otherwise, point CorsixTH to an installation, the CD (the HOSP folder) or somewhere else you have put Theme Hospital data. If you don't have Theme Hospital already you can buy it at gog.com or download the demo. As an example, if you did buy the original game from www.gog.com and installed it on Windows using default settings you will want to point CorsixTH to C:Program FilesGOG.comTheme Hospital on first startup. Otherwise, for Linux, for example, you will need to extract them from the installer with a 3rd-party tool using
innoextract :
then use the
app folder that gets extracted as the root of my data files in CorsixTH.
An alternative approach is to use wine to run the GOG installer, then point CorsixTH to
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Theme Hospital (or wherever the game was installed).
CorsixTH l Version: 0.4.3| Size: 5.27 MB Developers: Alan Woolley| Language: English CorsixTH is a reimplementation of the Theme Hospital game engine. This is an unofficial port of CorsixTH to Android. Doesn't matter though, once it downloaded in Origin I was able to get it. And pointing CorsixTH to the 'Theme Hospital/data/Game' directory. Theme Hospital is a business simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1997 for the PC in which players design and operate a privately owned hospital with the goal of curing patients of fictitious comical ailments. CorsixTH aims to re-implement the game engine of Theme Hospital, and be able to load the original game data files. Download CorsixTH 0.62 for windows.
The long version
If the above is too short, or it does not work, this is the somewhat longer version.
1. Operating Systems
To start, it is worthwhile to quickly ensure that your operating system is supported:
2. Prerequisite Data
Currently, game assets (graphics, sounds, levels, translations, etc.) are loaded from the original game files. Therefore, you will require the original CD or a copy from e.g. gog.com in order to use CorsixTH. If you've got a copy of the original game disk lying around, then great - copy the
HOSP folder (which should contain sub-directories called Data , QData , Levels , etc.) from the root of the CD to somewhere on your hard drive.
If you are unable to acquire the full game data files, then the demo can be downloaded easily and used instead (though the demo only has one level, and lacks most management screens).
3. Downloading and Compiling
There are four ways to obtain a copy of CorsixTH:
If you've gone with option 2 or 3, then you will now need to compile CorsixTH. See How To Compile for a guide on doing so.
4. Runtime Configuration
Note: If using the Windows installer, this step is done at install time.
The next step is to decide where to put saved games and other configuration files. The default location is the logged in user's 'AppData' folder for Windows and XDG_CONFIG_HOME or equivalent for Linux and OS X. Continue to step 5 if that sounds good to you. If you want the game to put these files somewhere else, then create a file in the CorsixTH root directory called 'config.path.txt' and let it contain one row specifying where to put the files instead. E.g. ~/.config/CorsixTH (where ~ is your home directory)
In-depth information about the Configuration File can be found here.
5. Go Play!
At this point, you should be ready to try CorsixTH.Run the CorsixTH executable.
On the first run, you may be prompted for the original Theme Hospital install location. Find where the original installation of Theme Hospital is stored on your PC. Depending on which version of the game that you have (e.g. CD, GoG, Origin), the specific folder may be slightly different. CorsixTH will highlight the correct folder in green when you mouse-over the folder. It may be the main 'Theme Hospital' folder or it might be a folder such as /Data/Game/. Select this folder and click OK. The game should now launch.
Other settings such as resolution can be changed in-game or edited directly in the config.txt file located as specified in step 4.
If things don't go quite so smoothly then consult the FAQ wiki page and the list of common errors, or ask on the IRC channel or the mailing list.

Manual available Description of Theme Hospital
Hard to find any flaw in Theme Hospital, the game was critically acclaimed and had a lot of success. Graphics are cartoonish and very well animated, diseases are totally hilarious (especially the descriptions) and a really funny multiplayer mode:
Up to 4 players can compete with their own hospital, close to the others. Everyone share the same community of sick people and the goal is to make more money than the others. VIP patients are proposed to everyone simultaneously, the quickest player to accept will get it. You may also refuse difficult patients and send them to another hospital to overload them, but should they manage them, they will make more money!
When buying a new square of land, a bidding competition starts, allowing you to make your competitors to spend more. You can also create a salary war to debauch the employees of the other hospitals. Another vicious weapon: 'dirty bombs' you can send to your competitors. They take some time to blow up, but if the player spot it, he can send it to another hospital and so on until it blows!

CorsixTH is a aiming for an Open Source remake of Theme Hospital on a modern engine. You will need the game files to use it. Check it out here: http://corsixth.com/

EA Origin now has this title available. Price: under $5. They have it working with DOSBox..but it still has a hitch with the mouse drivers sometimes. Still, if you need a version set up for you for a modern computer you can get it there.

There's a Windows XP and onward Windows OS compatible version available on themehospital.co.uk so if you're facing some compatibility issues, it's best to try that out.

Game works great but I have to play with no sound. theres a terrible distorted bell ringing sound when you mouse over ANYTHING. The sounds that are supposed to come with the game are fine but whatever was added to the clicks kinda detracts from the game. Other than that its great! 8/10
KJ2017-09-04-22 points
Never realized how sexist this game was. Doctors and handymen are men and nurses and receptionists are women.
Aside from that, does anyone know 1. If I were to increase the heat of the radiators for the first 29 or 30 days of the month and then reduce it for the last day, would I only be charged the lower amount? But will the patients then register this as being cold or will they still be warm? The question is whether the warmth level of patients and the cost is measured daily or monthly. 2. Does the time of year matter for the radiators? Whenever I have played I usually reduce the heat during the summer months (I suppose summer is relative). But I don't know if this makes a difference. Do patients want radiators throughout the year?
BretN72017-07-141 point
One of the greatest sim type games ever. Great humor and art style. I always keep coming back to this. Bullfrog was amazing back in the day.

kaz2015-06-301 point DOS version
Xander, try a program called Dosbox. you can google it.. Let's say you extracted this game to the directory C:/Hospital. Now run Dosbox and type: mount c c:/hospital - now lets say the .exe file is called 'hospital', so just type: 'hospital' and hit enter. Make sure you run setup in the same way to configure the sound.. Ignore the quotation marks.

Hi everybody! I found the answer about how to change the language of the game.
You have to open with notepad the file named 'hospital.cfg' and write (where there is wrote LANGUAGE='ENG') the other kind of language you want in play (ex: 'GER'). Bye bye!

Is it possible to find this game in italian language? Or find just the file language pack to translated it?

I'm getting bugs on this one. Using DosBox, I can't set the Policy settings, which makes it a micromanagement nightmare. Also the research doesn't show up right. Maybe I did something wrong?
Producer2013-10-061 point DOS version
I'm sorry, but the idea that sites like GOG are 'helping' game developers and boosting the economy is a joke.
Original development companies for most of these games don't even exist anymore and in many cases have had their properties bought and resold several times over. Paying for abandonware on a site that uses a cheap windows/dos wrapper or worse freeware DOSBOX is insulting. I'd rather donate my money to sites like this one. Or if your feeling really generous to the coders, artists, designers and producers of these games who received little more then salary for 70 hr work weeks and teeny tiny bonuses if they were lucky.

Admin is entirely right. When a game is available from GoG, that's the right way to get it. The entire planet's economy is failing largely because of a lack of consumers .. if we actually buy things when the price is right, we can help.
That said -- ADMIN, most of the descriptions are just Awful. Can I re-write them for you?
