Jones in the Fast Lane is a social simulation game for MS-DOS compatible operating systems. It was developed and published by Sierra On-Line in 1991. Using a board game motif, the objective is to attain certain amounts of money, happiness, status, and education. The exact amounts needed are defined by the player(s) when the game begins. The game's name and goals are a play on the concept of keeping up with the Joneses.
