Identify Monopoly-like game for old Macintosh

Question

The few things I can remember, besides that it's awesome, is as follows.

• The game takes place on a board, much like Monopoly.
• The title corresponds to something like Jones or James.
• You collect money, and can put them in the bank, but sometimes the bank gets robbed
• When you're out of money, you lose. When this happens, a screen showing a slightly overweight guy, standing naked with a barrel covering his torso and lower-body. The background-color of this screen is, if I recall correctly, yellow.
• I'm pretty sure you throw a dice between turns
• Last time I played this was around 1997 on an old Macintosh
• This game was hard, although I might have been too young to fully understand it correctly

Answer

Sounds like Jones in the Fast Lane.

Edit: Looks like JITFL wasn't available for Macintosh, and a quick search didn't turn up any references to clones. Otherwise it seems to be a good match.
