ShowBiz Tycoon has exceeded all my expectations. For months, I searched for a comprehensive movies and TV studio simulation, and this game offers both. The level of detail you can incorporate into your movies and TV shows is impressive. If you're seeking a text-based simulation with added features and the ability to personalize movie and TV show posters for each production, this is the perfect fit. As a fan of Grey Dog Software, the makers of Total Extreme Wrestling Simulation (TEW), I am thoroughly hooked on this game. With its endless mode, you can immerse yourself indefinitely. If you've been struggling to find the right simulation game, look no further - ShowBiz Tycoon will keep you entertained for a long time to come.

Good UI type of movie manager instead of the usual build a building and manage employee game. Also has a fairy in depth tv show option, streaming, different markets, etc.
