Job Island was formerly known as Hard Working People, but has been renamed following the huge
success of Hudson Soft s similarly-themed Sports Island, which also used the concept of
fun-orientated mini-games to such good effect.
A series of huge meteors are heading to Earth, and only the diligent, hard work of those enrolling
for Job Island can save it Only by raising cash by being successful at 50 jobs, can the player buy
the items needed to prevent the meteors from ending all life as we know it. Thus, with three game
modes on offer, Job Island steps up as one of the most ways to save the planet that you are ever
likely to see
In Story Mode, the player is charged with taking on a diverse range of jobs and out-performing those
around you to accrue money. Players browse the in-game ads to find jobs they are interested in, with
careers ranging from body-building, cooking, cameraman, ER Attendant, deep-sea explorer, stunt
person, make up artist and so on. Each chosen profession has three difficulty levels and enjoys a
dedicated sub-game where players compete against friends, with the most successful awarded the day
s pay.
These earnings can then be spent on items to further enhance your chances in later career choices
uniforms, useful items, etc or to put towards the anti-Meteor devices needed to save
the Earth. Job Island thus becomes a tough juggling act, with later stages adding ever-improving
players out to win the money, while the pressing need to destroy the meteors acts as an ever-present
time limit.
