I agree with the reviewer that a video game should be more fun than the real experience, and this simulation game is not fun. My problem with the game is that I can't understand why certain things are happening, or what strategy to take for making money. The tutorial gets you up and making a movie, but unable to compete with the other studios, even on "Easy" mode. I did download the 26-page .pdf Manual (easily found online by googling), but this didn't answer my questions. For example, how do I figure out what an actor wants in negotiations? It's all very hit and miss. Which I find frustrating.

This game is currently price @ only $5, which is a real bargain! I have owned this game for a few years. It's straight-away hours of fun game play, and I enjoy coming back to it for a replay from time to time. The levels are pretty straightforward once you get the hang of using your weapons, but the sound effects and graphics are cute and the layouts can be challenging at expert level. A fun way to relax and kill some bugs!

I think this would be a fun game development simulation game for anyone, but it's particularly great for anyone who's a fan of the gaming industry and the 80s. Little treats are hidden throughout the game, like a Pong poster and a peek of a Delorean in the start-up garage. I'm still trying to get the "Turn it up to Eleven" award! The game development choices are endless! Kudos to the developers!
