Theme Hospital open source game engine CorsixTH has a nice Beta release out with v0.69 now in testing for this classic.

If you love the classic, you need CorsixTH to make the best of it, as it comes with various enhancements to make playing it on modern machines a breeze. You can fully complete the original campaign with it and it includes support for custom levels and campaign, higher resolutions, zooming, unlimited saves, improved game logic, hotkeys and much more.
