Those video games remind me of the board game I hauled out of the closet of a friend's grandmother once, after Thanksgiving dinner, because we were desperately bored and needed something to do.

It was obviously a spinoff of another board game, as it was sparkly pink and had the name CAREERS in big "We already trademarked this logo" letters and then splashed in cursive beneath it "For girls!"

You wandered around the board trying out various careers and trying to get your happiness/life/whatever points up sufficiently. You could be a teacher, a mother, a fashion designer, or a "pet doctor." I distinctly remember that the mother track had a square where you had to back up a few squares because you burned the cookies.

It was just appalling enough that it wasn't even much fun to mock it.
