Hollywood Pictures. Most won't know the game, as it's just some Business Simulation from a german developer. Those Simulation games seem to be popular only around here anyway. But it really got me back then. I grew up with the NES an SNES and just knew action based games you could beat relatively fast. Hollywood Pictures changed that, as there is no real goal. You just keep on playing forever, trying to beat records, earning money and stuff. I played that game for YEARS. No kidding, even today I play it sometimes.
A game that had a similar appeal to me and will be known by more people would be Transport Tycoon. It's basically the same, you just keep on going forever, there is always something to do. But I played Hollywood Pictures before that and since then I'm hooked. Business Sims are my favourite Genre by far and it's a shame that there are so few games. Game Dev Story on Android is just too easy and lacks the deepness such a game needs. I also don't like Landwirtschaftssimulator (don't know the english name) all that much, it has too much graphics. Keep the graphics simple but the business part should be as deep and complicated as possible. I can even play with excel tables alone, there is simply no need for graphics in this genre. A good example is EAs FIFA Manager which basically hasn't any graphics at all, but I enjoy it a lot. Yeah, I know, many say Segas Football Manager is better, but I don't care for the football part all that much and miss all the business.
My personal dream is a Big Budget Title about console sales and console wars. You play some manufacturer and try to become number 1 in the market. I wouldn't need another game for the rest of my life.
I could go on forever talking about business sims, as it's also hard to find someone else who is into stuff like that. But I'm just going to stop now. ^^
