We were pretty excited when we heard that the original creators of Theme Hospital Gary Carr and Mark Webley were releasing a spiritual successor to their zany 1990s hit. Released on PC and Mac last week, Two Point Hospital isn’t just a modern day remake of Theme Hospital but instead builds on what made the original sim great.

Twenty years ago, Bullfrog put out a little pseudo-simulation game called Theme Hospital. It wasn’t a game about curing cancer or stopping an influenza epidemic, instead, it took the dreariness of modern-day healthcare management and made it fun! Your doctors had to figure out how to deflate giant heads, most likely by sticking a giant needle into it or to snip off a part of an abnormally large tongue. All while hiring doctors and staff, making sure there were enough clinics and winning a couple of awards here and there.
