The game looks like it has the correct ages of the actors and directors. Sidney Poitier was 54 in 1981. Sir Laurence Olivier was 76 in 1983 and William Shatner was 52 in 1983 as well.
Pairing Sidley Rcott with a romance flick, especially about a teapot had me scratching my head. You can just see moody futuristic sets with young couple sitting around a (sorry Penge) coffee table drinking tea. Suddenly the man starts coughing and spluttering and throws himself on to the table, writhing around, tea everywhere. All of a sudden his stomach splits open and jar of coffee jumps out and runs away shrieking that it hates tea! Once it's gone the girl looks down to see a paper origami style teapot on the table. It's raining outside...
Computer games films not really a thing in the 80’s? 1983 - Wargames. A successful film literally about a computer playing noughts and crosses. With itself.
Yeah, those are definitely 1990s computers. ;) Flux capacitor awry indeed! I have yet to find a movie tycoon game that holds a candle to "The Movies", as flawed as that game was, even for its day. Maybe this one will grow into that. Toes crossed. :)
The Movies certainly had its issues, but it was a lot of fun to play. I can't believe that was almost 20 years ago and yet nothing quite like it yet despite all the other tycoon style games since.
Gameplay is overrated in these games, it's not that involved anyway. I would rather games like these focus more on visual aspects, something like a fleshed-out Sims 4 Get Famous.
I never played The Movies but it always gets mentioned whenever a movie/Hollywood type game is played on the channel. Maybe I should try to seek it out and play it?
Penge, This reminds me very much of Freeware/Shareware Movie Studio game from about 25 years ago, the name of which escapes me. I remember trying to re-create the sensation that was "Titanic" in that game (the name still escapes me) and found my efforts to be epic fails! Regarding the desktop computers. The IBM Personal Computer (forerunner of the current PC iteration) was released in 1981. It was expandable to a whopping 640K RAM and used floppy disks (5.25 inch) with 160K per side. Disk drives came at additional cost. So, in terms of the game, the office depicted in 1980 is not appropriate as the IBM machine with the large box supporting the CRT and the semi-detached keyboard was not available to anyone. The Apple II computer (which I used) was a very different configuration as the computer box and keyboard were all the same unit. The office depiction of 1983, when you hired the analyst, is accurate. The original IBM Personal Computer was immensely successful, largely because it was produced by IBM. There was term used at the time: "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM." As one might expect, upon launch available software for the IBM was very limited. This was especially true for home use, ie. computer gaming. So, while most IBM machines were purchased for personal use, it took time for the available software library to equal and exceed the software available to the Apple II. As the decade progressed, businesses began using personal computers more and more. The "Killer App" on the IBM was Lotus 1-2-3, a spreadsheet program with included graphing capability. When business really took to using personal computers, IBM cleaned up in the marketplace since "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM." I was hoping you would have selected a Musical for your Pirate Movie! After all, didn't "The Pirates of Penzance" get released around that time? The one with Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, and Angela Lansbury? While the actual film was something of a flop, I hoped you could provide an alternate history to help re-establish the popularity of Gilbert & Sullivan! - sj
Well, you see, after Mike Tyson retired he went to the film business, and as anything artistic, you really have to change your name. Not much too keen on big name changes, he just add one single o to his name.
For a while I was very confused about this comment until I realised you were saying I'd made a typo! All fixed now. Oh, and because you were the first commenter... WINNER!
Clicks through all the tutorial guide bits 'mmm how does that work exactly' Love it, this is why I watch these wonderful videos (and because your a fellow brit), thank you good Sir 🙂
Hugely impressive that it's possible to make a decent movie right off the bat, that is indeed very unusual. But it bodes well for the game, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. :)
There's another game called "Movies Tycoon " so much close to "the Movies" which is releasing this month, the demo is out on steam , could u please make a video on its gameplay

Shouldn't the dinosaur movie have been called Tea Rex?
And it should be a musical 😂
@@AuntieKitty Cabaret Dinos
@@DavidDrouant Sounds like a blockbuster to me

The way it’s set up reminds me of Game Dev Tycoon.
Pretty much. I don’t see it really doing anything to stick out in this demo.
Avocadometer..referencing tomatometer the Rotten Tomatoes measurement.
Ooohhhhhh, I see!

Like teas in rain.
Ah, so it’s more Game Dev Tycoon and less The Movies style. Ok
The movies was a fun game. We could see the stage and it was more like a sim's game.

How dare you forget the 1989 classic called The Wizard starring Fred Savage 😂
Do you know, when I was editing the video I thought "What about Wargames?", so I did remember it, just a bit late!

*Cough*... Movie Studio *Tysoon*...
Also, "first?" apparently? 😅🤣

I should have been more clear with pointing that out. My bad. 🤣
RoboJanitor has one target audience, and I think it might be Kryten from Red Dwarf 😂
I'd love it if Kryten were watching!

Hacking...in 1985, makes complete sense
I'd ALMOST pay to see Silliam Whatner as Spack Jarrow.
I'm thinking of Planet Coaster when you said a tea mascot

I bet the avacado metric is their version of rotten tomatoes?
The most British studio based in the US
Got to take a little bit of home over to the USA with me!
I mean, tron was '82 and about video games and hacking.
Oh it was a mistake not hiring nuck corris the most action star who ever actioned

39:30 You messed up the Pirate rating here Penge. It had to be *RRRRRRRRRRRR!* (I'll see myself out....)
You spelled it Tysoon not Tycoon!
Ah, so I did! All fixed.
The Game is 🤮🤮🤮
