Shot97 | The Game Of Life - Windows 98 - Gaming Memories And Review @Shot97 | Uploaded November 2016 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
A staple of my casual gaming collection, the Game of Life was released in 1998 by Hasbro for Windows 9x operating systems (played here on Windows 98). A quirky adaption of the popular board game with many cut scenes and mini games sprinkled throughout. Fun way to spend 30 minutes to an hour of your time. This is my review with some memories attached.
