I discovered this game from seeing videos on Gamespot back in the day. When I bought it I spend hours of my childhood making whatever movies came to my mind. It's a truly unique game and having it lost to the sands of time is a tragedy.
This is a very interesting sandbox game that sadly was not as popular as I have expected. It allows the player to create scripts and then film their own movies. Besides that, it is a pretty solid managerial game, it requires the player (the manager) to identify the best crew/director/actors for the roles in each project. I have learned a lot and many players would as well if we had this title available here.
Oh the memories with this game...
I used to spend hours and hours when I was a kid creating my Hollywood fantasy studio, designing my own scripts and seeing them come to life, to after even recording voice lines with my friends and creating short films with it.
The beautiful memories I have with this game... Would love to re-experience them all over again.
Don't let this forgotten gem be lost to time. Many have tried to replicate it's unique gameplay, but none have succeeded. Nothing beats the original recipe, so please, Don't let this underrated classic get swept away!
Probably the most fun I had to make my own movies in a video game. The movies were short, but you could upload them back in the day to the movies website and people could vote and watch it.
You make a studio, hire actors, directors, assistants etc, the lot, and you start making a low budget movie to see if the public likes it, and you go up when your movies are succesful.
Incredible game and lots of cool innovations now being lost in time.
I loved this game as a kid but it won't run on Linux no matter how hard I've tried, it's delisted from steam and I can only play my disc copy on an old windows 7 laptop. I just wanna buy it again where I can play it easily
I used to play this all the time growing up in my early teens & loved just making a ton of random little movies & the managing the studio itself through the decades in game.The Stunts & Effects expansion was also a nice add on to the base game too. Would love to be able to buy this officially and have again to easily install & play!
I've been wanting to play a film studio sim for years now but there's none that have matched this level. I had fond memories of this game as a kid and now I'm a better player I want to have another go at this.
This game has been stuck in incompatability hell for too long.
The only GOOD movie studio simulator to date. I'm sorry, i don't want to be hard against the developers of similar games but... this (still) is the goat. If the mayor problem with licensing this game has to do with Chrysler and the models ingame, take them off or modify them to avoid those problems, but please, make it available. AND, don't forget the expansion (maybe tweak it a little bit because it kinda screwed up the default scripts you get to film, like they don't make sense anymore).

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
