LOS ANGELES - Already the king of the boardroom, Donald Trump could seize full control of the living room thanks to an upcoming video game based on his hit reality TV show, "The Apprentice".
Game developer Legacy Interactive said on Monday it plans to turn the NBC reality TV program into a video game that allows gamers to assume the role of a hopeful contestant for a job with real estate baron Trump.
Trump advisors George Ross and Carolyn Kepcher will also play roles in the game as contestants navigate through corporate challenges, boardroom conflicts as well as potential romances.
Slated for release in autumn 2006, the game will be available for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox console, Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Portable handheld system and PCs.
A simpler PC version will be released this fall, Legacy said.
Vivendi Universal Games, a unit of Vivendi Universal, will publish the game. Vivendi Universal also has a stake in NBC Universal, a joint venture with General Electric Co.
Taken from NBC.
Why in the hell would you make an Apprentice game?
