It is loosely based on Mad Magazine, and the game's introduction animation features the magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, smiling on a television.

The player is in charge of selecting programming and earning advertising for the station, while simultaneously trying to marry Betty, an attractive woman working in the building.Show more

A very cool management game. While the theme itself is very charming (running a TV channel is something everyone can daydream about, in my opinion) it remains a fairly underused one, with only a handful of games attempting it. Mad TV is also one of the best (if not the best), in the field, despite its age. There is just something so satisfying in figuring out the right spot for a movie or TV series, and see the viewcount skyrocket, and it's something that its future competitors didn't quite get right, perhaps by overcomplicating things.
It was one of the first games I owned on my first PC (which had a 20MB HD). Back then the cartoony style was great for a management game and it was the first one that I've played that was more of a point and click than a number of endless statistics and spreadsheets. Also it was funny, but at the same time a quiet hard management game, a combination that you don't find that often.
So in my eyes it's a real classic and I'd love to see it on GOG!
I remember it being bundled with a "Thunderbird" 386 DX 40 and 486 SX 25 in an advertisment in a german computer magazine back in the day. There was also Monkey Island 2 included. I spent endless ours reading through these magazines and it stimulated my imagination in a way that I daydreamed about a lot of the games. I remember the cool looking "gaming" PCs, IBM compatibles with a black monitor for around 2000 DM and it still sticks with me to this day. Later I went on playing endless hours of Mad TV and at first did not understand how to correctly expand my broadcasting, so I was stuck after a while. I came back to the game and beat it lateron. The coherence and magic of the presentation has never been quite met by any other management game and the repertoire of differente movies greated a depth and resemblence to the adult world which enchanted me as a kid and still charmed me when I grew older. An absolutely original and unique game, a true gem, with a totally funny take on the movie industry, with the competitors running around in the same building and the quest for beckys love. A well rounded satire with a lot of charm and quite some depth through the mid game. Reasonably challenging and a well rounded mix of time, money and tv program management. I suppose this game has its issues regarding the copyright of its content, what is a shame, but I'm glad they included the real names and did not care for the potentially endless amount of negotiation to be able to use the names of the shows and movies "legally". I love this game. It would be a great addition to GOGs library. I would love to see it here. It would make GOG more complete. A great memory on par with a lot of the big gems of the 90s.
Who hasn't ever dreamd of being a (responsible) tv-channel manager (and alongside winnig the affection of your biggest crush)! Starting with mere 200000 bucks to make a downridden (local) TV-channel great again. Transmit news, bring classic movies and tv-series on again, place commercial advertising and even produce your very own productions in your own studio! Don't forget to sabotage your competitors, as they will not spare you either. Don't fall for the simple presemtation this is one of the best business enterprise simulations of all time!
Very cool game! I loved it to play on an Amiga. And i let's played it sometimes on YouTube too. Very good TV manager simulation. Please add it to your cool shop. I would pay much for it. I want this game on GOG !!!
Do I really have to tell anybody how awesome this Masterpiece is? I just wanna add that it was really deep. You can actively influence the backoffice and the market. ...and with this game I also learned how to use glitches and cheat engines to expand the fun possibilities even more. ;)

Quest for Glory V: Dragon FireAfter having survived the dangers he encountered on his previous journey, the hero travels with the wizard Erasmus to a Greece-like country called Silmaria. Its king was recently murdered, and, according to the land's traditions, the crown will be given to the one who passes a contest known as the Rites of Rulership. The hero enters the contest, aided by Erasmus, Rakeesh, and other old friends. However, as the competition progresses, contestants are being systematically killed by an unknown assassin. All the victims are murdered near the Dragon Pillars, which keep the Dragon of Silmaria in captivity. The hero must investigate the crimes and save Silmaria from a grave danger.
Dragon Fire is the final game in the Quest for Glory series. Like the previous games in the series, Dragon Fire is a hybrid between puzzle-solving adventure and role-playing game. The player talks to the world's inhabitants, gathering clues and items necessary to acquire in order to complete the quests and advance the story. Unlike all its predecessors, Dragon Fire has no separate battle screens; the action-based battles take place on the exploration screen, utilizing a simple point-and-click interface, similarly to Diablo. The game has heavier weapon and armor management than other Quest for Glory games, strengthening the RPG angle.
Many quests are optional or can be completed in different ways. The hero can also marry one of the several major female characters in the game, provided the player does the right thing to impress the girl.Action Fantasy

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015.
It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view.
Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.Action Fantasy
The OutfitThe Outfit is a World War II game that, unlike many other games in the genre, focuses almost entirely on destruction. While you will usually need to take a tactical approach to gameplay when on foot, you will earn points called "Field Units" that can be used to buy equipment like tanks and gun turrets to destroy Axis soldiers. You can simply buy equipment by using the Y button on your controller in conjunction with the left thumbstick button to select an item to buy.
As such, the game developers call The Outfit "destruction on demand". The equipment you buy with Field Units will initially be occupied by AI-controlled soldiers, but you can replace whoever is using the equipment so that you can have some fun blowing stuff up. Sporting a fully destructible environment, almost everything in The Outfit can be blown up.
You can play as one of three characters. Tommy Mac can take lots of damage before dying, and comes equipped with a flamethrower and machine gun, but equipment will cost him more Field Units than other characters. Deuce Williams comes equipped with a rocket launcher and pistol, and doesn't need as much Field Units to buy stuff as Tommy does, but he isn't nearly as strong as Tommy. JD Tyler is the most accurate of the three, sporting a sniper rifle and shotgun, but unfortunately he will die with one shot, so he must take an extremely tactical approach to gameplay.Action
