Mad TV

You are an employee in a TV station and your job is to set the daily TV schedule, choose proper advertisers to earn money and generally expand your company in order to beat the opponents. The game is very original as you look at it from the concept point of view. Unfortunatelly the gameplay and controls went completely the other way. Interface is sluggish and jerky. The game loads some parts of graphics all the time making things working slow. It becomes quite annoying pretty fast. HD installation helps but jerkiness of the interface still exists. Worth checking out but entertainment factor is rather low.

One of my favorite game! 100% from me

There is an English version (2016/11/11 TOSEC collection has it). WHDLoad install exists.

Good things: awesome game, very challenging. This game will take some days to finish, so don't expect to be done in 3hrs

Bad things: WHDLoad screws disk images on real Amiga, so you can't save the game, which makes it unusable. BUT it works under Winuae, and it works great (except game saves, but hey we have state save in Winue right? ). Only other error I run into with the WHDLoad installer is: if you touch arm dealers tab on the info tab, it crashes immediately. Not when you start a new game, so it screws something during the time. If you rename the disks images back to adf and load up as disks, it works fine so it is the slave file or something around there.

ENGLISH MANUAL???? I found 1 German but that's about it. ANYONE ever seen an ENGLISH Manual?

I can highly recommend this game to anyone (with winuae )

A TV Network simulator...a good concept, decent interface...not a bad game at all but not great either. Loading takes forever on some occasions and there's no intelligent caching on that subject. Definitely one to try for a while but there are better sims around.

Games like this one makes me kick myself for not paying more attention in German class.

I guess I could play it anyway, and try to learn the German language while doing so, but it's too much of an effort. At some point I might though, I've promised myself to learn German at some point.

A great game, no doubts - but with a weak AI. My favourite "game mode" eventually was: "try keeping the other two (computer-controlled) guys in the game for as long as possible" ...

Complex, funny and hectic, all at once. Mad TV really offered it all. A modern sequel would be awesome.

My favourite business simulation and actually my favourite Amiga game. Awesome soundtrack, cool cartoon GFX and a fast and simple gameplay. The major feature in my opinion is that all the movies have original names. I have discovered many many movies (mostly from the eighties and classic movies) by playing this game.
