horf - sorry, i've had a really hectic couple of days. can you just move me to my doctor destination as specified and i'll get the speeding question done as you move forward? if you intend to give me another question then do so, i imagine i'll be able to meld the two of them together. i'd rather not compromise my habit of telling a bizarre story of a few hundred words just because i haven't had time to think about how to make speeding rad recently.

I gotta say watching this being played is so weird considering the version I played growing up. I'm trying to remember but the way the occupations worked for my version was you only had one salary for each job and if you decided to go to college you had to hope you got a good spin to get a good job (I believe Lawyer was the best with $100k and Teacher was the worst with $30k). If you decided to just be a career person you just had a general job with either $40k or $45k, so in theory you were making out better than someone who landed on Teacher. They also didn't have House Insurance, it was Fire Insurance instead. Also am I mistaken or is there no Life Insurance in this version?

And... wait, was there life insurance? I don't remember any payday squares either, I think you got paid on every spin, maybe?

my version still had Pay Day! squares, but you didn't stop on them or maybe you did on the first but not any after. I only remember 2 squares that forced you to stop: getting married and the end of the game. Life Insurance was the most expensive insurance (cost something like $20k when Auto was $2500 and Fire/House was $5k) but was usually a good choice because at the end of the game it comes to term and you got another $100k or maybe it was $125k. Other things I am trying to recall from a game I haven't played in about 10 years: You didn't buy a house, at least not in the way newer versions have you you buy homes. I think it was just assumed that you had a home after getting a career because it's the 60s or the 70s so everyone has a single family home that cost $10k and the mortgage ain't no thing. All players started with money but if you went to college you lost half of it for tuition, it was still possible to go into debt before graduation but usually this just meant you had a tough choice to make for buying the various insurances, since I seem to recall that you couldn't buy insurance (specifically life insurance) with loaned money. If this thread is still around in a couple months when I am back at my parent's house I'm gonna have to see if they still have it and take some pictures for comparison
