The Movies (2005) - Abandonware

 

####################################

You're sitting at home, bored as hell, cause it's lockdown. Due to the insanely dangerous Corona Virus. This is not a laughing matter. The virus is extremely lethal. But here's what you can do: 

Go online and download the old game "The Movies" from 2005. and while you're at it, download also the add-on "Stunts and Effects".. Install the game and start playing.

Congratulations, you're now an up-and-coming movie producer, ready to build his own movie studio. Soon the Stars will line up in front of your office for an audition, on the plush red sofa that Harvey Weinstein gifted you.

The gameplay is easy to learn, and tons of fun. But when you start out, please make sure to name your movie company "Jewberg Productions".. no other name makes sense, it would render the entire gameplay pointless. So please go ahead and do that. All throughout the game, it will appear again and again, in the movie reviews etc.

Now you'll get a nice "Jewberg Productions" logo at the beginning of each movie clip. As you progress and shoot your first short movies, you can even arrange scenes so that it kinda fits, but most of it will still look like stick-men talking to each other nonsensical stuff in a 'meeh' voice.

You also can export the movies later to share with your friends. But if you wanna progress in the game fast, the artistic value of your movies will probably be zero. (at least it was for me, I pulled a Quentin Tarantino, and the scenes i patched together didn't make sense at all, but brought in the money!). Altogether, the game will probably keep you entertained for 2-3 days tops. But you'll gain experience that will last a lifetime. After all. You'll be the Boss. The Sole Owner and Shareholder of..

Jewberg Productions

Enjoy the Ride.
