Step into the hilarious and chaotic world of hospital management—Theme Hospital, the legendary business simulation game, is now fully playable in your web browser! Thanks to modern web technology, this MS-DOS classic has been ported using DOS-JS, allowing players to build, manage, and run their own hospital without needing an emulator or special setup. However, please note that this version does not support mobile devices and is optimized for desktop play only.

Theme Hospital – A Classic Simulation Game with a Dark Sense of Humor

Released in 1997 by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts, Theme Hospital is a hospital simulation game where players take charge of designing and running a healthcare facility. Unlike typical management games, Theme Hospital injects humor and absurdity into every aspect, from bizarre illnesses like Bloaty Head Syndrome and Jellyitis to overworked doctors and panicked patients.

Players must balance finances, hire staff, build treatment rooms, and keep patients happy, all while dealing with emergencies, staff demands, and unpredictable outbreaks. The game's dark humor and satirical take on healthcare systems made it a cult classic among simulation fans.

Why Theme Hospital is a Must-Play Simulation Game

With its perfect mix of humor, challenge, and rewarding management gameplay, Theme Hospital remains one of the most beloved simulation games of all time.

Bringing Theme Hospital to the Web with DOS-JS

This web-based version of Theme Hospital was made possible using DOS-JS, a JavaScript-powered DOS emulator that allows classic MS-DOS games to run directly in modern browsers. No need for downloads, installations, or extra software—just click and start playing instantly.

Whether you're using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Edge, Theme Hospital runs flawlessly, delivering the chaotic and entertaining management gameplay that made it a hit.

Optimized for Desktop Play Only

Unlike many other web-based retro game ports, this version of Theme Hospital does not support mobile devices. The game is optimized for desktops and laptops, ensuring that menus, building tools, and patient interactions function smoothly on larger screens.

For desktop players, the game supports keyboard and external mouse inputs, allowing for a seamless and intuitive simulation experience. If you have a USB or Bluetooth mouse, the web version will automatically detect it, providing precise and comfortable controls—just like playing on an original DOS PC.

By porting Theme Hospital into a web-playable format, this project ensures that both longtime fans and new players can experience one of the most entertaining and well-designed business simulations ever made. Many classic DOS games become difficult to access over time, but browser-based emulation keeps these legendary titles alive for future generations.

With save/load functionality and full compatibility on desktop devices, Theme Hospital is now more accessible than ever. Whether you're revisiting this classic hospital management game for nostalgia or experiencing its humorous take on healthcare for the first time, this is the ultimate way to play one of gaming's most unique simulation games.
