In essentially the first minigame compilation, you play a bunch of arcade game parodies by walking into different
rooms. Some are on a timer and some last until you lose a life. The rooms are in a three story hotel, and there are enemies you need to avoid as you go from room to room.
The graphics
are simple, but stylish and the game has a surreal, mellow charm. The best feature though, is the incredible electric violin music that changes on the fly depending on what room you are in. The music was later sampled by the German band Zombie Nation.
Not quite an essential C64 title, Lazy Jones is a fun time waster nonetheless.
