The unofficial paid-for port of Theme Hospital that we reported on a fortnight ago has been removed from Google Play, although it appears that it didn't go down without a fight.

ThemeHospital was a direct port of the classic 1997 slack-tongue-in-cheek PC hospital management game from Bullfrog.

However, after its developer renamed it CrazyHospital (for reasons unknown) and then split the game up into multiple downloads (you had to download the game, then download the game files elsewhere, then download the music files from somewhere else), the game has disappeared off the Google Play radar completely.

Unfortunately, this means that even if you did manage to grab it before it disappeared, you won't be able to play it unless you downloaded the separate files in time.

There's no need to shed too many tears, mind, for there is actually a free version of Theme Hospital available to download for Android. You can grab it online here.
