Advantages: Funny, great game!!!

Disadvantages: Addictive!

I used to play this game when I was a kid, it has been out since 1997, and I think we got it when we got one of our computers (you remember when you got random games with your computers!!), and I used to play it!

To be honest in the last few years I haven't thought about it, but when I was in the shop Game the other day, and found out I had accumulated £10 on my game reward card I thought I'd look for some things to buy, and this game was in a section for 3 for £10, as I had found a couple of other games I wanted, I thought I'd get this too!

The game is quite simple to start with, you are the owner of a hospital and you have to build rooms and hire doctors, nurses and handymen to keep it running, and you have to work at keeping the patients happy and curing them as quickly as possible. There are around 15 levels, but as I have not yet completed the game I can't be 100% certain of this, each level progresses in difficulty and it gets harder and harder to get to the next level, you have to cure a certain amount of people, and make your hospitals value a certain amount, which can be hard!!! With the added mixes of epidemics and emergencies coming into to hospital in each level, it does get pretty hard to keep an eye on whats going on, and once you start getting hundreds of people coming into the hosiptal with random illnesses, it does all get on top of you and it does get hard to work out what your supposed to be doing to win the level!!!!

But thats what I like about it! It's classed as a "strategy" game, and costs around £5 from Game or 3 for £10, and I must be honest, I haven't seen it anywhere else in around 5 years, but I know Amazon will sell it for a couple of pound!!! You do need the CD to play the game, unlike some where once you have uploaded the game you can pass it on to other people, so if you have a few computers you have to learn to share lol!

I get very very obsessed with this game once I start playing it, and my husband finds it hard to drag me away from it once I get going!!!! haha, so if you get easily attracted to games, make sure you have time to get addicted!!!!

I definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes games like Sims, Zoo Tycoon, any other of the Tycoon games, any other "theme" games. Thsi is very funny, and is now made for XP and Vista so you can all play along!!!

A must have for all homes!!! 10/10!

Summary: A fab game which takes me back to my younger years!!!
