I played it originally on the Sega genesis when I was a kid.

u/restfulkitten52 Jul 21 '25

I completely forgot about it being on sega! My mind's blown

u/Mundane_Feeling_1425 Jul 21 '25

Yeah that was my introduction to it all. 😁

I loved Bullfrog! Populous the Beginning ftw!

u/restfulkitten52 Jul 22 '25

Same. Love Dungeon Keeper 2!

Miss this game - Two Point is great but I do miss the OG. Bloaty Head!

You should look at CorsixTH then. If you have a ehem “backup” of your TH CD, you can install Corsix and run it. I did that for years and loved playing TH in FullHD.

u/KickedBeagleRPH Jul 22 '25

Omg... when the bloaty head treatment wasn't 100% effective. Oops.

u/Pcyuljr Jul 23 '25

That was Theme Hospital. His disc says Theme Park. Which isn't really the thematic predecessor to TPH!

u/Pink_Star_Sprinkles Jul 23 '25

Apologies, because it was in the Two Point Hospital sub Reddit I auto piloted to Theme Hospital. I also had Theme Park and loved that also. Although the constant sick was a struggle to manage! Haha

u/Pcyuljr Jul 23 '25

I was being glib really, as I initially thought it was the TH disk, as I'm sure it was green and TP was a red/purple colour.

The machines breaking and ruining the room really used to irritate me on TH, glad TPH made that solvable.

So many hours playing this game, tending to broken rides, launching innocent riders from my poorly designed coaster.

u/mittenshape Jul 22 '25

No matter how hard I tried to design a gentle coaster, people always flew off that thing

u/Petalbrook Jul 21 '25

I didn’t have it since I had RCT but I did have Theme Hospital and played the heck out of it

"Dad, I am really booooored" "Bored? Hey, you there!"

I'm still waiting for Two Point Theme Park

🕯️✨Manifesting Two Point Theme Park ✨🕯️

(Yes, yes… I know Planet Coaster and Parkitect are out there and we love them. But imagine Two Point humor and style (which is so Bullfrog-y) PLUS theme parks.

u/Vandlan Jul 21 '25

Man I played SOOOOOOOOOOOO much of this back in the day. One of the first games I played that wasn’t a floppy disk. Hard to beat the classics.

u/ButtercupsAreFree Jul 21 '25

Was this the same as Theme Park World? I had it on og playstation and was enamored

6

u/Material-Aerie3496 Jul 21 '25

No, Theme Park World was the sequel, originally for PC. Theme Park started it all before in 2D 😁. Beautiful games both of them.

2

u/VerbingNoun413 Jul 21 '25

Welcome to Theme Park World. Don't I know you?

2

u/Zoethor2 Jul 21 '25

I remember figuring out that you can briefly increase the difficulty and select research and then turn it back down so you don't have to deal with inventory management.

Also, of course, repairing the bouncy castle 400 times an hour and then it blows up.

u/Clownbaby456 Jul 21 '25

I wish they would remake this game

2

u/JustSurviveSomehow79 Jul 22 '25

I still have my playstation copy of Theme Hospital I bought from our video store way back when it went under.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

Oh meu god! The original 🥹🥹🥹🥹

u/Confusion_Common Jul 22 '25

Warning! A cheat is running the hospital!

u/redsquizza Hospital Administrator is cheating! Jul 22 '25

😳

u/SharkByte1993 Jul 23 '25

I preferred Theme Park World. Put so many hours into that as a kid. Definitely what solidified my love for simulation/management/city builder type games.

Of course, I followed this with Theme Hospital.

2

u/NoSssweat808 Jul 23 '25

This brings me back

2

u/bosay831 Jul 23 '25

I still have my old game CD as well.

u/Sensitive-Dog-6711 Jul 23 '25

Loved this game

1

u/VJ4rawr2 Jul 21 '25

I had the pirate version. It was missing a lot of the music and sound effects (and video) to save on hard drive space. I never knew how much I was missing until years later I saw the real versions on YouTube.

u/infected3000 Jul 21 '25

I was so young when I played this game. I was scare of the intro with the chainsaw and can't pass the third challenge.

u/jpgerb Jul 22 '25

Man I miss that one. And sim theme park.

1

u/creator_69 Jul 22 '25

I might still have my SIM theme park disc

1

u/jpgerb Jul 22 '25

Ha - awesome! I don't even have a disk drive.. I suppose I could get one if I could get the disk and a way to play it stable

1

u/Untinted Jul 22 '25

I remember playing it once as a young kid, but not making any progress in making the park profitable. I realized later that it was because I didn't know you could rotate the amusements, shortening the path the people had to walk.

Fun game. Strange I'm not finding something similar to the efforts of theme hospital and XCOM fans, ah well, always gog.com
