That's why there's an open sourced version http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ :P
Saw a vid of it on Youtube. Looks great so far!
-edit- Here's a vid of Beta 1

Sweet I started keeping an eye on this a while back but forgot about it. Very glad to hear they have a beta now :)
progress continues ^^
Glad I still have my TH discs ... even if I haven't tried playing them on win7 lol.
oh wait I had it confused with openTH.....
I hadn't heard of this project before - nice progress they've made though :)

TH still works on XP. Thank god.

Yeah, I have that from PSN store on my PSP. I have played the original as well of course, but because of having it on PSP I don't even LIKE the game anymore. I have played way too much.

Damn it! They'd better release this in the US!

In other news....
I just checked openTTD progress when this TH clone reminded me of it and how the original datafiles were required. They just released 1.0 beta 2 and have reimplemented the sound effects and graphics themselves as part of the 1.0 milestone. You no longer need an original copy of TTD to use openTTD :D
Perhaps GoG should contact the developers to get the fully open source legally unencumbered version downloadable on here at 1.0? ;)

Only thing that annoyed me bout Theme Hospital was the ridiculous amount of radiators that was necessary, not to mention placing them... was a whole little puzzlegame in itself!:P
But hey, sold lotsa soft drinks in the bargain:D

Yes, we know ;-)

guess I was a bit busy at christmas and missed that thread ;) Teach me to spend time with family...

Clean up on Corridor 2! It's moar Squits!!
