    I loved this game when I was a kid.  I would gladly pay for it again with updated graphics on XBLA.

    I'm with you. I still have the original Jones CDRom and occasionally play the game. Jones is one of the best classic PC games ever.

    I agree, although I did not have the CD-ROM version (didn't even know there was one) I had the floppy-version. I used to play it at mom's job because we did not have a computer at home. It's amazing how much they squeezed into one floppy disc.

    @triddapol Is that a mobile version? Also does it have the same satire as the original? I liked the old voice acting and look of the characters. Some of this looks too "gamey."

    @corevi: Hey! I am not a spambot! I'm the shameless developer...

    @rebel_scum: The game has similar 'literal' satire, interesting comment about it being too "gamey" I think I get what you mean (graphics/style?) and your right, it is aimed at mobile users, that style is what users expect on devices, I was told to make it more gamey, but refused.. Perfect casual game for mobiles, i think. There is a growing community all fighting over who can win in the least amount of weeks. Some guy from Norway beat the the system in 23weeks.. amazing, no matter how hard I try I can't beat him.
