Movie
Studio Boss
Available Now!
Price: $4.99
Can you handle Hollywood! You have just been appointed
the head of a new Movie Studio and have been given 10 years to
make it the most successful studio around. 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!
- Needs
either Microsoft’s Windows 98/2000 or XP (Sorry does not work
on NT) and a mouse.
- DirectX
compatible Soundcard required for audio.
