![]() Not to be outdone by ‘Bloaty Head’ where the patient suffered from an overblown noggin which could only be cured by pricking the head like a balloon with a pin and re-inflating to the correct size. ![]() My personal favourite was ‘Baldness’ where the patient sat in a chair you’d see at a hairdressers and have a mop of hair, not unlike suffers of ‘King Complex’ placed upon his dome. Patients could suffer from ‘Uncommon Cold’ which was treated with a simple potion from the Pharmacy to ‘King Complex’ where the patient dressed as Elvis Presley and had to be treated by a psychiatrist. Theme Hospital was one of the quirkiest games that I have ever come across. ![]() The Irish health ser- er I mean Theme Hospital. The Ward and the Operating Theatre had to be together, sometimes in a different building and your Slack Tongue Clinic was always a distant afterthought, sandwiched between your second batch of toilets and the Inflation Clinic. The GP’s office was always beside General Diagnosis and the Pharmacy. If you were me, you designed each hospital the exact same way.

We loved it so much that on a trip to SuperValu in Maynooth, we spied a copy in their ‘games section’ (a small rotating shelf) and insisted that Mum let us buy it.

I didn’t play too many games but the ones I did play still stick in my memory such as Sims 2, Simpsons Hit & Run, Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets and Lego Racers 2. In fact when I was 10, Santa brought me the Sims 2 on PC but our computer was so old that I had to wait for my parents to buy a new one before I could play it. As a result, the games I did play as a kid were PC based. We didn’t have a console until my younger brother bought an XBox with his confirmation money.
