Theme Hospital Free on Origin with On The House (Update)
UPDATE: Those in France will have found they were unable to get Theme Hospital as the rest of Europe can. Instead, they have been offered Peggle again. There are ways around the region block, if you missed Peggle the last time,
In Peggle you must hit coloured balls against same-coloured pegs through 55 levels of casual gaming fun. Can you become a Peggle Master?
In December, French gamers were offered Dead Space instead of SimCity 2000.
Original story:
Created in the same vein as Theme Park by Bullfrog Productions, Theme Hospital came out in 1997 for PC and 1998 for PlayStation. You must run a variety of hospitals, each larger than the last, to become the greatest hospital administrator who ever lived - and earn lots of money.
Doctors and nurses must treat and cure patients as they come into the hospital, to improve your rating and thus get more income into the hospital. Employ handymen to keep the equipment running and receptionists to pretend to care about the patients.
All of this can be yours for free! Just head over here and click Get It Now! You'll need to be signed into Origin and have it installed, then you can download the game and get right into it.

Man, I used to love this game. Thanks EA! (how often can you say that without being sarcastic?)

I said it last time, too, with SimCity 2000! It's getting to be a habit!

@[537776659:Andrew Acelister Duncan] Maybe EA get too much flak. They're a hell of a lot better than Ubisoft!

@[1077716025:Matt Girdler] Well I don't recall the last game Ubisoft gave me. Sony have given me Ubisoft games, but never themselves.

@[537776659:Andrew Acelister Duncan] And at least EA didn't ship any broken games this year, unlike Ubisoft with Unity and The Crew.
