EA just made Theme Hospital free on Origin

If you need something to play later today and keep browsing through your Steam library wishing there was something new and exciting to keep you interested for a few hours, well, you'll probably have to buy something. However if you don't mind taking a trip down memory lane to the late '90s, you may find yourself quite the classic if you visit EA's Origin store today.

Yes, Them Hospital is now available for free download and play through Origin, which means bloaty heads need popping, slack tongues need chopping and Elvis impersonators need to question what they're doing with their lives and it's your job to make that happen.

For those that haven't played it - those of you that did, are no doubt humming the game's main theme right now - Theme Hospital is one of Bullfrog's best remembered games, capturing the classic management simulator feel that was the developer's bread and butter, combined with the company's typical humour.

Despite the lighthearted tone however, the game becomes surprisingly difficult in its later levels where you have to spin a lot of plates at once to keep the hospital ticking over.

If you want to give it a go, consider trying out the HD patch also to give you more resolution options.
