Default Jones in the Fast Lane

There was an old PC game from the early 90s called Jones in the Fast Lane. The point of the game was achieving a certain level of happiness, wealth, etc. A life simulator, pretty much. Each round has you going through a day, doing whatever (working, going to school, relaxing, etc) until the time runs out. Then you usually do something "over the weekend" which costs money and go into the next round. This keeps happening until you achieve your goals or, in multiplayer, the 1st person who does it wins.

There were 4 characters, 2 male and 2 female. You only see them from the front and they do a walking motion as you walk from place to place. After a few days, you will be told that you need new clothes, which means you need to buy new ones from one of the stores. If you don't get new clothes before that day is over, your character starts the next one in a state of undress and with embarrassed expressions on their faces. One woman is naked with only a newspaper over her body. The other woman is wearing only a slip and is trying to cover herself with her hands.

The game uses digitized actors, so they look like real people. However, since this was from the 90s, the graphics aren't that great. However, I still like the embarrassed looks the women have when their clothes run out and watching them walk while undressed and trying to cover themselves. Like I said, the game was originally for the PC but there's a flash version you can play here hxxp://home.broadpark.no/~kboye/jones/jones.html

The opening message says something about bugs and other crap like that, but I've played it a few times and nothing has happened to me, so I think it was just a joke.
