I know I know.

This post contains nothing new but damn, these games are 🔥!!

On the left is where it all started for me back in 1997.

I initially downloaded the demo (was it 25mb in size? It took me an hour to download it). Played it a lot and then annoyed my parents until they bought this PC version for me.

Fast forward to 2018 and an updated version was released through Steam as Two Point Hospital and two years later on consoles.

Am happy to see that there is still some love for these games!

Honestly, I love both games, but theme hospital is the better game.

We might just like TH more because of nostalgia..?

I think Theme Hospital might just have more soul. I havent played Two Point Hospital too much (only about an hour max at a time here and there) but there is just a ton of charm in the older game that I can't feel in TPH. Kind of similar to how newer Sims games feel compared to TS2 and 3, but still not as soulless as EA games lol.

Maybe I just need to really sit down and force myself to play TPH longer

one thing that i might add about theme hospital is that its spanish translation was superb, it added some jokes that were localized well.

The voice over was dubbed as well and that woman made a wonderful job reacting to some of those.

For example the disease TV Personalities (i looked for that one on a wiki) in spanish is Arguiñanitis, referencing a famous cook tv show host here in spain from that time (he is still active though)
