Yeah, Rogue-like is a notable exception. The difference is that it's an established term for a genre, whereas a single journalist saying something like "Theme Hospital-like" is not a genre.

Exactly. Which is why your comments here do not make any sense at all; they're not saying it's a genre. They're saying these games are like the games of a long gone company of the past. There's no established way of saying that other than "Bullfrog-like."
