YMMV / Jones in the Fast Lane

• Audience-Alienating Premise: While the work was supposed to be something akin to The Game of Life, the box cover, intro, and realistic graphics (including all the characters save Jones merely digitized pictures of Sierra employees) all make it too easy to think it is a non-game financial, budget management, and life goal program^note The premise was likely a parody of the above, but unfortunately was taken a bit too affectionately. Not surprisingly, it sold poorly and was all but shoved aside for Sierra's other works.
• Scrappy Mechanic: The game is best played with as many players as possible. Don't have any friends? Tough luck - you can't set more than one CPU player. Jones only plays one-on-one.
