Hell yeah. :cool:

Possibly one of THE games of the 90s? Loved this.

Will deffo keep an eye on this.

The original is only needed for the graphics, you can even use the demo version which is freely availiable, this is much the same situation as the OpenTTD project.

Not any more! It reached 1.0.0 and now doesn't need the origianal game files!

I've just compiled revision r680 of CorsixTH for Windows if anyone wants to check out the recent changes, you can get it from www.rbrt.co.uk (this will run on 64-bit windows as well, it's just compiled against 32-bit libraries for better compatibility).

So does it need the original game or not?

Yes, or the demo which is freely available to download. PhillyDee is on about OpenTTD.

Just added an OS X 10.6 build of the SVN to my site so if you've only played Beta 2 you might want to check out some of the latest developments. You will need a copy of the game files (or demo files) that you put in ./Hosp (you can change this location in config.txt).

http://www.rbrt.co.uk (you can also find the latest Windows builds here too).

I might add Linux builds in the near future although people running Linux are usually comfortable building it themselves.

RobH · 24 Jun 2010 at 21:55

BETA 3 has been released today: http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/

The OS X build may not work as I messed up the compilation, it's looking for LibSDL in the wrong place, I'm working on a solution.

Sweet, never heard of this before! :eek:

I must have missed the original post

From reading the website, if you don't have the original game and have to download the demo, then your stuck on one level and can't progress? :/

That's how demo's work.

Sure, but it sucks if you don't have the original game. Can it still be brought?

Edit: Actually, scratch that. After a quick google the game can be downloaded.

D-Ranged · 25 Jun 2010 at 11:29

Coool! I'll wait till they have added some new features to it though.

DBT85 · 31 Dec 2010 at 01:03

Just thought i'd drag this one back up to the top. Beta 5 is out and is far more feature rich than before. Looks great!
