![]() ![]() Without dynamic challenges, you're soon forced into repeating the same tasks, **** all the charm from everything.Īnd unfortunately, that about wraps up Hospital Tycoon. There is a problem with simulation games, and that is that it's easy to have them turn into generic click-fests. Unlike this: it only runs on the laptop, while the three PC's are running proper games. Right, back to Theme Hospital, which actually can run on today's computers. Here's where the game loses most points it's just not fun if this nonsense keeps popping up.
