| Theme Hospital | Electronic Arts (Bullfrog Productions) | 1997 | 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 as Bloaty Head, Slack Songue or Alien DNA, and treat them with even more bizarre machines like an Head Inflator or a DNA fixer. There are 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. The size and layout of each room can be set by the player, according to the available space. In addition to rooms, the player must provide radiators, seating for patients and drink machines. However, rooms don't run by themselves. 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. 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. As levels advance, the player faces increasingly harder situations: VIP visits, emergencies, epidemics and earthquakes, which can either take a toll on reputation or on the bank account. On the other hand, as more and more equipment is required, additional plots of land are available for purchase in later maps.*** [84]*** [58] | labelimagesubject |

The company, on doing this sequel, had to keep up with the original game's quality and fun. The problem was, without Molyneux. Thankfully, Bullfrog proved that they can still create classic games even without their former mentor. This game takes everything that made it's prequel great, and improves it all. Briefly, you an evil dungeon keeper (natch), that has to command the place in your reign of filth and decay. Also, protect the place from those damn goody-two-shoes who try to destroy your underground evil dungeon. I don't want tp spoil the game with words; you simply have to play it. | labelimageminimize |
| Evil Genius | Sierra Entertainment;Rebellion (Elixir Studios) | 2004 | Siguiendo la estela del clásico Dungeon Keeper, este juego se presenta como un divertidísimo juego de estrategia y administración. ¿Quién quiere ser 007 cuando puedes ser el taponcete que amenaza a toda la humanidad? Recomendación de guardaespaldas: Lord Kane, su habilidad de entretener es criminal en estadios avanzados del juego. Merece la pena coger a Shen Yu sólo por eso.

| Towns | SMP | 2012 | Towns brings a fresh new take on the citybuilding/management genre by introducing many RPG features. Drawing inspiration from games such as Diablo, Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress, the game has you managing a settlement on top of an active dungeon. Instead of playing the hero who delves deep into the dungeon, how about playing the town that houses and caters to the hero's needs? Both the RPG and strategic aspects will be fleshed out over a series of sprawling dungeons. Craft unique weapons, obtain randomized loot and build a settlement capable of holding back the forces that come up from the depths! | labelimagesubject |

| Two Point Hospital | Sega (Two Point Studios) | 2018 | Two Point Hospital is a light-hearted hospital management simulation game and a spiritual successor to the 1997 game Theme Hospital. The player is tasked with the management of a chain of hospitals in Two Point County, with each hospital representing a mission which needs to be completed in order to progress to the next, with different objectives assigned to them. As with Theme Hospital, the player is required to build the necessary rooms for diagnosis, treatment and comfort of patients, as well as research departments, staff rooms and other infrastructure. Staff, from humble janitors to renowned consultants, need to be hired, trained, rested, and kept satisfied with their job. Finally, hospitals can be customized to a higher degree than before, and items can be unlocked through leveling up existing hospitals. Meanwhile, the hospital's reputation and profitability need to be maintained in order to succeed. Illnesses are, unlike those in the real world, humourous in nature (e.g. light-headedness means the patient has a literal light bulb instead of a normal head). Minor ones, which do not manifest visually, require simple pharmaceutical treatment to be researched, while visual ones require entire dedicated rooms which are equally absurd. Aside from the main objectives for a particular mission, staff members can occasionally challenge the player in optional side objectives. Unlike in Theme Hospital, staff can make use of certain facilities like toilets and vending machines in their break times, and have more elaborate demands which affect their satisfaction with their workplace. All staff can be trained by external trainers and can even train each other, and while some skills (e.g. motivation) are common to all professions, there are some which are restricted to only a few professions (e.g. only nurses can be trained for injections, and only janitors can capture ghosts of dead patients). Aside from staff challenges, there are occasional visits from VIPs and optional emergency objectives, which bring extra reputation, money and Kudosh for successful completion. Kudosh is an in-game currency which is received exclusively from completing challenges and missions, and helps in unlocking customization items for future hospitals, increasing their attractiveness and therefore staff and patient satisfaction. As of the Superbug Initiative free update, the game's online features allow multiple players to join group projects and track each other's progress.*** [12] | labelimagesubject |
