Game Description

The Movies is a business simulation game created by Lionhead Studios for Microsoft Windows and subsequently ported to Mac OS X by Feral Interactive. It was released on 8 November 2005 in North America, and 11 November 2005 in Europe after reaching gold status on 8 October 2005. The game allows players to take the role of a Hollywood film mogul, running a studio and creating films. Much has been made about the film-making aspect of the game, as it allows players to easily create viewable works or machinima. It won Best Simulation Game at the BAFTA Video Games Awards and was nominated for best game at the Game Developers Choice Awards.

    • Make sure you disable full screen optimization in compatibility mode!

      That worked for me. Now I’m dealing with a lot of graphical problems, however. I’m told these can be fixed by altering the resolution of the game, but the registry of the game doesn’t appear to have to appropriate values to alter (GD: Screen Width and GD: Screen Height)?
