In this game you could get a job at a place like mcdonalds, you could get other jobs as well but if you were really poor you be wearing like a barrel with two straps over your shoulders or a cardboard box... It was set out like a board game in a sqaure shape and you chould see your character in the centre of the screen.
You could buy different things if landed on the right place like a appliance shop or supermarket etc.
It was a great dos game kind of like a game of life.. But I cant remember the name or the maker of it.
