Thanks for the headsup.. I grabbed a copy of theme hospital for my mom.
I remember it being funny enough and easy to play.. hopefully my mom will give it a try :).
I loved one hospital announcement in that game: "Please do not feed the vermin."
I purchased it, but sadly I'm not able to play it on full screen mode in dosbox.
It's a small little box on my monitor and I would hate giving this limited impression of a fantastic game to my Mom.
I'll see if I can find a XP copy of the game and try it out on my XP VM..
GOG has launched a new sale I see, which will last for a good while. They're giving out free games depending on how much you spend there, and Banished is one of them. Hopefully this will garner some extra interest for the game too, since it's on the first page of the site, and if people haven't heard about it, will hopefully click on it to see what it's about.
