| Movie Studio
Boss is your chance to run a Hollywood film studio and make
movies! You are up against seven other computer controlled Studios
all trying to be the best Studio in the world. You are judged
in three ways - most turnover, most profit and most awards.
As the Studio Boss you have lots of decisions to make, including:
controlling the budget, deciding what type of film you are going
to make, hiring a scriptwriter, getting the best director, trying
to get the screenplay right, negotiating with the stars, handling
problems on set, getting the post-production right and that's
all before you worry about the cinema release. You've got marketing
costs, web publicity, test screenings, how many screens to show
the film on, when to hit the International markets, when to
sell it to TV, how long before you put it on DVD and much, much
more. |

Features
- Turn based,
yet has time pressure. Players have around 10 minutes to make
all their decisions each turn and can end the turn early if they
want.
- More than
one way to win. Bosses can win by being the best at making high
turnover, profitable or classic award-winning films.
- Each section
of the game is designed as a ‘mini-game’ in itself.
- Success is
firmly in the hands of the player. Decisions they make (and they
have many to consider) always effect their box office.
- Easy to play
interface with ‘Film School Help’ available all of the
time.
- Covers pretty
much the entire movie making experience - keeps ‘industry
jargon’ to a minimum.
- Player is
up against seven other computer-controlled players.
- We keep the
numbers sensible - you do not see $1,067,345 ever in our game.
Just $1M. This helps to keep the game from looking too much like
a spreadsheet.
- Set in a
full 3D world.
- The 3D means
that although this is only a strategy game it does have some street
credibility.
- Scalable
visual effects, but we would recommend as a minimum spec, a PC
rated 400 MHz with 8 Mb DirectX 8 compatible video card and 64
Mb RAM (128 Mb for XP and Windows 2000). If you have a more powerful
machine than this then the game will look even better!
Platform: Win95, Win98, WinME, WinXP, Windows2000
DirectX compatible Soundcard required for audio.
