Hollywood High

:"This article is about Hollywood High, a computer game. For the school, see Hollywood High School.""Hollywood High" is a creative writing game released in 1996 by Theatrix Ineractive. It is also the sequel to Theatrix's Hollywood, which featured only animal cartoon characters. The game features 37 scenes to be chosen from, as well as multiple human cartoon characters. Users input text and can watch the characters read it. Having been released for more than a decade and its original developer defunct, this software is abandonware. The product was available in Windows (R) 95, Windows 3.1, and Macintosh (R) CD-ROM formats. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1996_August_20/ai_18600109] Since Theatrix became defunct, the game is considered abandonware. A download link is available: http://www.4shared.com/dir/2991024/2c7ac9ed/Hollywood_High.html

The seed for Hollywood High was planted when Theatrix asked users what type of game they would like to see next, and there was much enthusiasm for a computer game based on teen-age life. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1996_August_20/ai_18600109]

Hollywood High features nine teen-age characters (four boys and five girls), a mother, an athletic coach and a baby sibling. The characters include:

*Lily, a bubblegum-chewing girl with a blonde ponytail, identified in the Hollywood High promotional material as "Lily the ponytail girl" [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Theatrix+Interactive+Ships+Highly+Anticipated+Hollywood+High%3B+Second...-a018600109]
*Matt, a brown-haired grunge aficionado, identified in the promotional material as "Matt the flannel shirt kid" [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Theatrix+Interactive+Ships+Highly+Anticipated+Hollywood+High%3B+Second...-a018600109]
*Gus, a blonde punk rocker
*Anna, a (possibly Italian-American) female basketball player
*Gary, an African-American nerd in a red sweater and sporting a hi-top fade haircut
*Baby, a baby in a high chair
*Glenn, an Asian black-haired teen with a blue sweatshirt and hood

*Jenny, an African-American soccer player sporting the number 7

You may change, however, the voices, names, and jobs/interests of the characters.

There are 55 settings available in all [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1996_August_20/ai_18600109] , including the mall, the bathroom, the beach, prom and the eye of a storm.

When you have both Hollywood and Hollywood High installed on your computer, the two could be combined by using a key received by calling Theatrix after launching the "Unlock Hollywood" program; however, since the developer is now defunct, this feature is no longer available.
