The Movies is a PC game in which you run a movie studio starting back in the early 1900’s and working up to present day. It plays sort of like The Sims, but it much more fun and has just as many options. Fans of strategy simulators will surely enjoy this game, as well as movie fans who may have dreamed about how they’d run the show. This is the type of game that will keep you busy for many hours and has a high replay value.

The game starts out on a big open lot where you have a little bit of money and a few people waiting outside for jobs. You first need to construct a few buildings, such as a main office for the studio, and of course a movie set. You then hire some actors, a director, writers, and so on. Each person has a big part to play in the way the studio works, and you can train them as time goes on. If you become successful, you’ll have more money to build bigger sets and produce more films. Your job is to run a profitable studio, create lots of hit films, and even win some major awards. How you perform this job is what the game is all about, as you have to manage every aspect of the studio from the image of your biggest stars all the way down to the janitorial staff.
