The official Theme Hospital Diary column in the UK GamesMaster magazine briefly talks about this cut disaster event. The room only costs $5, which is pretty unlikely to be a serious final figure for it. This doesn't seem to exist in the final game, and it's not clear what it would do (other than containing TVs). There's an unused PA announcement for pregnant patients included in the game files (see Unused Audio section)Īs with the cut pregnancy condition, there are also entries for a cut room simply called "TV" in the level definitions. It's likely this was abandoned early on due to Bullfrog deliberately moving away from real world conditions, and having a game where pregnant women can die would likely be considered to be in poor taste. The "treatment" for the condition is a stay on a Ward and then surgery. Pregnant patients have an entry as a "visual illness" which means they would appear with custom graphics, but clearly this did not happen as no such graphics exist, and pregnant patients simply appear as normal women in the final game if hacked in. Pregnancy seems to be fully working but a rough implementation.

There is a user made mod available that simplifies this. As such this can be restored to the game by adding the needed fields to any level definition file. However, these templates also reveal there is a further unused "disease" called "PREGNANT". These files list all possible permutations of rooms, items, and diseases available in the game, with the actual levels only using a subset of these, depending on difficulty and game progression. At the same time, the hospital can’t run without handymen cruising around the hospital to water up dry plants, clean up litter and vomit (after all, people go there because they are sick) and fix machines, while receptionists direct patients to the proper rooms.(Source: GameSpot) Cut Gameplay Elements PregnancyĮach difficulty level in the level definition directory ( LEVELS) has a template file as its first file (e.g. Most diagnostic and clinics can work with regular doctors, but others like the operating theater and the research room require specialized staff while the ward, pharmacy and the fracture clinic require an attending nurse. In addition to rooms, the player must provide radiators, seating for patients and drink machines.Īs levels advance, the player faces increasingly harder situations: VIP visits, emergencies, epidemics and earthquakes … The size and layout of each room can be set by the player, according to the available space. There several additional rooms, such as a staff room for your employees to rest, a toilet so that patients don’t have to relieve themselves in the corridors, a research department to get the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies and a training room where consultants can teach a thing or two to rookies, making them capable doctors. Theme Hospital is a level-based hospital management simulation where players have to start on an empty building, and then assemble rooms with all kinds of material, from desks and file cabinets for the general diagnosis to the expensive ultra-scanners and x-rays to diagnose such bizarre diseases such as Bloaty Head, Slack Songue or Alien DNA, and treat them with with even more bizarre machines like an Head Inflator or a DNA fixer.
