Software Star is a 1985 game released by Kevin Toms for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
The player can view a snapshot of productivity over the last six months and decide to discipline, offer incentives, or take no action.
Finally, the player will have to evaluate the potential market depending on the time of year and decide how many advertising pages to buy.
The player is then given a sales break-even figure and each game climbs the chart if it sells well to the Number One spot.
Zzap!64 thought the game was a disappointing follow-up to Football Manager, with too little to do for the player and less feeling of control.
