Corsix-TH (Open-Source theme hospital!)

By Liam Dawe - 20 December 2010 at 7:51 pm UTC

For those who remember Theme Hospital i would like to let you know about Corsix-TH, which is an open source remake of the engine to run it!

QuoteAs computers evolve, we risk losing some classic games. Bullfrog's Theme Hospital, published in 1997, is a classic simulation game, but getting it to run natively on modern operating systems is getting progressively harder.
This project aims to reimplement the game engine of Theme Hospital, and be able to load the original game data files. This means that you will need a purchased copy of Theme Hospital, or a copy of the demo, in order to use CorsixTH. After most of the original engine has been reimplemented in open source code, the project will serve as a base from which extensions and improvements to the original game can be made.
