You can play it Here!

This just makes my day. PC Gamer recently spotlighted it in their Crap Shoot, ripping the game to shreds, but to be honest, I loved this game as a kid. Even now, replaying it, it still is a blast to play and even more so when you have friends to play against. This just blows my mind, especially since I have attempted to get the game to run on a modern PC from my CD copy and have been unsuccessful, even when emulating windows. There is the DOS version I could download, but that lacks the high quality sound and voices!
I don't get it. I need a manual. :lol:
If you ever have problems understanding, just watch the demo play through...it is just the AI playing the game and it is relentless if you play against it. That gives you a good idea of what you need to do.

Tips!

You must set aside time to eat once a day.

Get a shitty job immediately.

Get an education while you work.

don't forget to buy cool stuff when you get a nice job.

Succeed.

Is this game advice or just general life advice?

That is how awesome Jones in the Fast Lane is. It is real life simulator...with the shirt tucked into the jeans and everything.

Interesting how many of those are not developed by Nintendo.

life is funny. I just thought to myself, I'm probably the only person on the planet playing Frogger 2 and listening to an A$AP Rocky mixtape right at this very moment.

You'd be surprised. I once dusted to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake completely naked.
