Summary

Almost an early version of the Sims

The Good

It was fun. Controlling your alter ego through his weekly life is surprisingly fun and addictive. Playing against the computer or your friends and family are both fun. The concept is intriguing and engaging, You keep coming back asking well if i do this instead of that will it help. I mean even after 10 years its still fun to play. the graphics were good for its era and the people usually had a few witty comments for you.

The Bad

They could have done more. They could have actually shown what you are doing instead of just flashing the clock to show time passing. Also the goals are always fuzzy as to exactly how much needs to be done for you to satisfy that goal.

The Bottom Line

A truly great game in the style of The Sims. It could almost be said that this was the father of the Sims. Definitely a must own game. I bought it back when it was brand new and i still fire it up every once in a while to play a game.
