Development
The game's working title was Keeping Up with Jones.
Jones in the Fast Lane was entirely developed as a set of storyboards before artwork or coding commenced. The "board game" interface was aimed at ensuring the rules were intuitive and accessible to younger or inexperienced players.
The 256-color VGA graphics were impressive for the time, with most computer games still produced in 16-color EGA. Produced in 1990, it was also one of the first games to run in Windows 3.0 which was released in May 1990.
