De vaste bezoekers van de Meuktracker zijn ongetwijfeld bekend met OpenTTD, een opensource-clone van Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Een andere groep ontwikkelaars is met een soortgelijk project bezig voor het door Bulfrog in 1997 uitgegeven spel Theme Hospital, waarin de speler een ziekenhuis moet ontwerpen en uitbaten. Net als bij OpenTTD het geval was, zijn de databestanden van het originele spel nodig om CorsixTH te kunnen spelen.
CorsixTH is opensource en beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en Mac OS X. Het spel kan in een hogere resolutie dan het origineel worden gespeeld en is in meer talen beschikbaar. Bijna alle mogelijkheden van het origineel zijn al aanwezig en het is de bedoeling dat er nieuwe features worden toegevoegd. Na acht bètareleases van CorsixTH is nu met versienummer 0.0.1 de eerste stabiele release verschenen. Hieronder is het changelog van deze release te vinden.
