Does anyone else remember this amazing MS-DOS game? My brother and I used to play it (sometimes with our parents) on repeat as kids. Kind of resembled the Game of Life, except that your groceries could spoil, you got loads of doctor bills and your landlord could garnish some of your wages. Not to mention Willy, who lifts your wallet, and the guy at Monolith Burgers. Anyway, my brother just discovered that some genius decided to make Jones available for free, online play without download.

Enjoy! http://home.broadpark.no/~kboye/jones/jones.html

Totally random, irrelevant fact for the day: There is a dinosaur named after Draco Malfoy, the junior villain of Harry Potter, called “Dracorex Hogwartsia,” according to About.com. Apparently, in 2004, some middle school kids in Indiana got the chance to name a newly discovered dinosaur.
