Theme Hospital vs Tropico Reloaded
Theme Hospital
Theme Hospital is a timeless and fun simulation game where you - obviously - manage a virtual hospital of your own. Turn the failing hospital around and help the sick that came to your hospital for aid as much as you help line your own pockets. As you might expect, the game also has plenty of the hospital drama that you might have seen in TV shows - the rush of a last-minute save or that nasty gossip floating around about the doctor and his nurses; some of which are depicted in the game in a rather humorous way. There are even some really funny diseases and diagnosis in this game.So, do you think you'll be able to make use of what resources you start off with and make your way up the pyramid that is the health care industry? If so, you simply must check out Theme Hospital. It may be an old game - old enough to be classified as an "abandonware" but it's still as golden as ever - The very epitome of what it means to be a hospital simulation game!
Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
