Lazy Jones

Lazy Jones is a series of games in one game where you must become Lazy Jones, the laziest and most skilled shirker in the business, whose only ambitions are to improve his games-playing and avoid work at all costs. In the hotel, which has the misfortune to 'employ' Lazy Jones there are eighteen rooms, most of which have their own computer games which you, as Jones, take every opportunity to play instead of cleaning.

Occasionally you hide in the broom cupboard or bathroom to avoid being caught by your irate Manager, or the ghost of the previous manager, or to avoid running into your cleaning trolley and having a heart attack at the thought of work.

The games beyond the doors shown on the screenshot feature some startling graphics. One of the shoot-'em-ups has a series of spinning metallic rectangles that gyrate towards your gun turret.

Fast loading, catchy tunes and good graphics made this the most enjoyable program I've seen this week.
