Help with Game/Name

[slab0meat]

I've looked a bit, but haven't found anything.. maybe someone here remembers.

 

I'm pretty sure it was a game that came on a disk in the mail (like with a monthly magazine or something).

 

The background color was black, all the text (it was a text game) was yellow.

 

 

 

It had to do with casting a movie. I *think* it would tell you the kind of movie you were casting for, then it would list a few parts, each one with a few actors to pick from for that part. Once those were all chosen, it would show how much money the movie grossed each week. I think you sometimes would win an award also, afterwards.

 

 

Thanks

A few possible hits:

 

Movie Mogul (Loadstar #019, #210)

Movie Business (Game On 1991/05 in German version, here translated to English)

Of course if it didn't have Movie in the title, it can be much harder to track down. Gamebase64 has some 25,000 games to go through, fortunately sorted by category which may help you.

Thanks for those links. The link you sent for Movie Mogul looks correct, though the colors puzzle me.

 

A Google search also brought up that same screen, but in the standard blue C64 style. I could swear mine was solely black with yellow. After reading about LoadStar more, that HAD to be the one. I wish I could find more about it to confirm.

 

But again, thanks a lot, that had been bugging me.

In the left column, at the middle of the page there is a yellow circle with an arrow that says Movie Mogul, pointing to the first release which uses the default colours. What else was updated between 1985 and 2002 is unknown to me.
