Hollywood High

Users input text and watch the characters read it. Although Theatrix Interactive has since become defunct, the program was picked up by Tom Snyder productions, a division of Scholastic Corporation. The software can also be bought online directly from the main site. The product was available in Windows (R) 95, Windows 3.1, and Macintosh (R) CD-ROM formats. 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 teenage life. High features nine teenage characters (four boys and five girls), a mother, an athletic coach and a baby sibling. Players may change the voices, names, and jobs/interests of the characters. The characters include: • Lily, a bubblegum-chewing girl with a blonde ponytail, identified in the Hollywood High promotional material as "Lily the ponytail girl" • Matt, a brown-haired grunge aficionado, identified in the promotional material as "Matt the flannel shirt kid" • Gus, a blonde punk rocker • Anna, a 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 • Ruth, a red-headed babysitter • Ed, an Asian athletic coach • Jenny, an African-American soccer player sporting the number 7 • Susan, a parent with a blonde ponytail • Stella, an Asian class clown wearing a large blue hat There are 55 settings available in all, including the mall, the bathroom, the beach, prom and the eye of a storm. When Theatrix's Hollywood and Hollywood High were installed on the same 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, and Scholastic has not picked this back up, due to low demand. A web series, based on and created with the game was launched in 2012, using the same settings and characters but with drastically altered personalities and roles.
