I'm looking for the names of two old games, the first one is business simulation where you manage a band, you can hire band members, create songs etc. and you can expand your office. Sound Buster or something like that I think. The graphics style was similar to Road Rash, i.e. comical.

The second is a submarine rail shooter where you control with the mouse where the submarine looks and where to shoot, you had to shoot other submarines to move on to the next scene, left click fired normally while right click fired a bomb which destroyed all subs on screen IIRC. I remember in the demo the was a scene where one of the smaller enemy subs crashed into a big sub.

Both games are from the nineties, 1995 or 1997 IIRC.
I hope you can help me.
And no it's not Kings Bounty.

Wow, this game looks taken out of the early 80s not mid-90s. Laughing

Probably reaching but Total Distortion was similar to that. Had to make music videos and stuff. Silly game though.

Chartbuster

No screenshot or anything http://www.mobygames.com/game/chartbuster

but this description sounds a lot like yours and came out in 98

Quote:
Chartbuster is a simulation of the music business. The player's task is to create a new band and bring it to success. The player will have to accomplish a mission that can be chosen at the beginning of the game (endless playing is optional), e.g. receive a certain number of platinum or golden records. To be successful, the player can influence most aspects of the business ranging from building recording studios, music production, marketing, sales, organizing tours, hiring security companies for your stars and more.
