particularities

One reason Hollywood Pictures was so popular at the time was the ability to change almost any file. So the actor names, which were on the installation disks to A. Schwarzenacker or similar, could easily be changed. The player could modify scenes and locations with the appropriate image processing programs almost at will, thus creating an individual version of the game.

Hollywood Pictures expanded the range of business simulations to include the opportunity to work as a "Hollywood doer". The successor Hollywood Pictures 2 , released in 2007 , was generally rated as disappointing , especially when compared to The Movies (2005).
