Tune into the latest video episode of the hospital drama “ now available online.
Does your mouse need a medical? Is your hard-drive due a health-check?
If so, Codemasters has the perfect prescription: a dose of Hospital Tycoon,
the all new PC title coming June 8th that fuses 'tycoon' style gameplay
with character simulation and a light-hearted narrative.
The
video opens the admissions door of the Sapphire Beach Medical
Institute, just one of the facilities in the game, where the hospital
director has been fitting out the hospital with some of the latest
medical equipment. Can Doctor Nick Buffman and Nurse Daisy get to grips
with the new treatment machines in time to diagnose the patients?
In Hospital Tycoon,
players take on the role of Hospital Director and take charge of the
medical staff, keep an eye on the patient numbers and make sure each
facility has the equipment required to keep those cures coming through.
As illustrated in the video, there's plenty of equipment to install in
your hospital “ from standard fixtures and fittings right through to
exotic medical devices.
An essential piece is the Research Machine,
a formidable piece of equipment that is used in the diagnosis of
unknown conditions. The more diseases that are researched and
discovered using the machine, the more patients your hospital offer
treatment to.
Then there are such clever items as the Microbial Luminescence Chamber,
which, thanks to its blast of intense light causes any germs on a
patient's body to glow brightly “ they'll practically illuminate the
wards.
There's even equipment to help the staff; the Neural Upgrade System
encodes new information into a Staff Members memory, providing them
with all manner of new medical qualifications in a relatively short
time.
With all this high-tech equipment arriving at the hospital
on a daily basis, ever vigilant receptionist, Miss Spelling, is
wondering if all the time Doctor Rick Steel is spending coming in and
out of the research room is really for the good of the patients. What
if he is plotting some mischief, or even a dastardly plan that would
shock the hospital to its very core? Or, then again, thinks our lovely
receptionist, maybe he was just looking for the men's room
There's only one way to find out: Tune into Hospital Tycoon “ the gripping medical drama “ on June 8th, exclusively for PC.
