I just wanted to mention that with the new Activision acquisition, Microsoft now owns the rights for "The Movies" game. I really hope we get a new game with more (genres, content, Mediums not just strict to live action) and online Competition.

This game used to be my jam, I spent hours playing this game daily but for some reason I don't play well after the 80s period. My PC Used to slow down at this part or my studio just becomes chaos.

Will replay this game to see how well can I go.

Revisiting this game for nostalgia. Judging by the mods, this game must've been pretty popular in Germany.
