replies: text:  The original version of Theme Hospital had the green gross. Later versions had the green "six sided asterisk". The later version was updated to include the latest patch and therefore had network play enabled by default. The different logos enabled savvy users to identify a patched version from an original. I don't know if there were any political reasons behind the change. I suspect that the Red Cross may have had something to do with it. They fiercely protect their trademark and it wouldn't suprise me if they threatened legal action against Bullfrog for feturing a trademark similar to theirs! 82.24.157.22 (talk) 01:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Should something be added about the names of some of the doctors? For example, I have seen doctors with names that include 3 identical letters one after each other, as well as a janitor named Y. Cure.

message: A few days ago I added a new link to this page that was promptly deleted because of the WP:FANSITE rule. I agree that there have to be rules here but in this case following the rule without thinking twice is, well..., hardly a sensible thing.
TH is a classic game, about 10 years old, so the official Bullfrog site is no longer existing. To find info and patches you have to use alternative ways.  There used to about half a dozen fanpages, one better than the other, but these have all disappeared, with the exception of (nearly) one, that was the most complete, detailed and accurate anyway. This situation makes Theme Hospital Clinica virtual official page. It has a complete description of all functions, people, diseases, scenarios in the game, has a very detailed walkthrough and a still active forum. But you can't link to the page as it is fan-based.
The kind of linking that is apparently allowed on this item is to GameSpot and MobyGames. These are the kind of sites that bombard you with adds, pop-ups, tracking and publicity cookies and if you want to download a file you have to pass via a myriad of new windows just to read at the end you have to login to get the file anyway.
I just wrote that there is only one TH fanpage left. This is not entirely true. A second one can be found at alt-tab.net. It could be a re-hash of one of those 'old' original fanpages that were on the web. Strange enough there is a link to the download section of that site on the TH Wikipedia entry. Following the WP:FANSITE rules it should be immediately deleted as well. 
The alt-tab.net game is however rightly mentioned for containing the so-called prenancy patch. The whereabouts of the original programmer of this patch are lost in time and can't be traced back. But the patch that can be downloaded is an enhanced 'pregnancy patch' version anyway, altered by a certain Ian Jefferies. And that man is the person who has created and still maintains the Theme Hospital Clinic website and forum.
(I want to add that I am not affiliated to Theme Hospital, nor to any of the fanpages that exist on the subject). Felix Atagong 10:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find anything about fansites on Wikipedia:External links so I don't understand this removal of a link. Samulili 11:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a new one -- treating the name of a shortcut link (WP:FANSITE) as a rule itself.  "No fan sites" would be a reasonable rule -- provided it actually were a rule -- if it meant "don't add your fansite which has absolutely nothing to add about the subject".  I checked out each of the external links, though, and the Theme Hospital Clinic is clearly a better resource than Mobygames and the others.  I'd be willing to bet it was deleted reflexively because it was labeled as a "fansite".  I've restored the link.--Father Goose 16:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Linking to Mobygames, GameSpot, GameFAQs or other game sites doesn't seem to be widely approved. I faintly recall a debate over th deletion of the Mobygames template for something along those lines, and the consensus on WP:VG seems to be that "resource" sites should only be provided in External links if their content is not appropriate to the article. In this case, I think leaving the link is fair. --Scottie_theNerd 16:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Hmm, I think the "original programmer" was actually me - my site (made around 1997 - apologies for the design and writing style...) has the original version of the patch, which (if I remember correctly) was purely my work and was the first time that the existence of the 'pregnancy' disease was publicised. I believe I found it when looking through some file that listed all the diseases, while trying to write a badly-written FAQ. I have absolutely no idea how I actually patched the level files, though.

thread_title: Future

message: I'm guessing the thief on the Play Store is the one who added the entry about a "uk based developer" getting Theme Hospital to work on Android and selling it on the playstation store. The version he stole is from AngryPineapple.com.
The author stated: "Please note that the paid version on the Google Play is based off my code but has absolutely nothing to do with me. I can’t offer any support for it whatsoever. I have no idea what changes he has made to the code, if any, so my advice is to always download versions from here or compile your own. I will NEVER charge for this port as I think it discredits the work done by Corsix and the CorsixTH team to develop this amazing clone."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.112.10 (talk) 12:04, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
