An unofficial port of classic 1997 PC title
Theme Hospital is available to download for Android-powered smartphones and tablets from Google Play for just 77p.
In case you're unfamiliar with this light-hearted title, you're tasked over a series of different levels with transforming empty hospitals into well-equipped care centres full of wards, offices, operating rooms, and more.
Plus, it's your job to hire and fire staff, attract patients, and cure their comical ailments.
Once you've met set goals, such as collecting a specific amount of cash or curing a fixed number of patients, you'll be able to move on and transform an even larger hospital with tougher goals.
ThemeHospital is available for 77p [
buy].

This app was stolen. It's actually free and open source. Google Corsix TH Android. It's made by a guy called Alan.

@aros - Indeed - PC original was superior. Going to hunt down Ant now and add an 'Ed' comment to the article ;-)

R & L would serve well as the rotate object buttons too.
Seems made for Xperia Play controls with the lack of keyboard and mouse.

Classic Playstation simulation!? The PC version was infinitely better than the poor Playstation port - the game was designed to be played with a mouse.
That said this port plays pretty well considering it's on your phone and having Theme Hospital is fantastic. Hopefully someone will do Dungeon Keeper next.
Xperia Play support with Dpad = move mouse and two of the buttons as the left and right click would be most welcome, and push this game up to being a true mobile classic. I hope the developers can find a way to add this, as your fingers obscuring what you're trying to do does impact a bit on the game. Remove that problem and this would be a Gold Award winning title (on XP.) No doubt about it!
