so...
Natchoguy: Stop spamming, seriously.
Dotted and Madkill : Theme Hospital is totally abandonware. EA doesn't care anymore of the game and I don't think they will oppose the creation of an old game remake that can or cannot be standalone. Now, stop that would you?
I like dragons! They're the center of my life! I'll never forget them...
That simply doesnt change the fact that including the game data is illegal and which is why CorsixTH doesnt include them.

After most of the original engine has been reimplemented in open source code, the project will serve as a base from which extensions to the original game can be made.

What has the code got to do with the graphics?

I am not sure wether it should be concidered as totally abandonware. As long as EA hasn't given up the rights it is not completely abandoned or...?
But I do agree on dragonslover, I don't think EA cares much about tiny remakes - but yea, as soon as money is involved they WILL be there :P.
I still think it is great people wish to do it, and also it shows the public and the company that these games are really worth fighting for. People are just picking up the pieces EA is leaving behind :P
Theme hospital is also one of my favorite games, so it really doesn't surprise me, people are still sticking to it. I know there is a lousy Hospital game on FB, that kinda screams Theme Hospital, but then again it is just like any other farm-game on FB, doing same tasks every day, in same locations.
the game is still on sale, so definately not abandoned
That there are some copies still floating around doesn't mean it isn't abbandonware.
