Ah, a classic from a golden age of sim/theme games, I'll definitely grab that one.

you say that like it is a bad thing...games are simpler now. Can't remember the last time a modern game got me stuck either through logic or skill.

Try playing XCOM enemy within classic ironman mode and see how far you get....

Woah, this game takes me back to my childhood!

You know, I always wondered why being invisible was a disease in this game. If you ask me, that would be awesome. I wouldn't want it cured!

Thanks

Stupid question incoming!

Do you still need the original game i.e "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Theme Hospital\data\Game" to use CorsixTH and would it be possible to transfer it to a laptop without Origin installed and play it?

I don't see any reason why you can't transfer it. I copied over that entire folder elsewhere on my computer and the corsixTH version worked just fine, so it will probably work if you copy that folder onto your laptop without origin

Thanks, added to my Origin account, was trying to work out how to add this to my lads Origin account he has for Fifa 15. It's a childs one and it appears there is no way of adding games to it or if there is it's not very easy to do.

I fired this up for few minutes last night and was amazed at how it all came flooding back, all the little sound effects and everything, felt like it hadn't been away at all

One thing that didn't come back however was how to actually save and exit the game? I tried everything I could think of and in the end had to just alt-f4 out. Can anyone remember off the top of your head

When in-game, hover the mouse at the top of the screen, and a menu should appear.
