    This has to be done on original but can be quick games. Either play against 1 AI or another controller (AI is probably quicker).

    - Always choose career rather than college as you'll get 10k to start rather than 100k debt. The game only lasts 5 turns so you're unlikely to get any benefit from a higher paying job.

    - Don't bother with a long-term investment, keep the 10k.

    - Upon retirement, choose the millionaires estate and make sure you pick the 50k Life Token if you retire first

    - To speed things up you can skip the animation of the spinner and the players moving by pressing 'A'

    Should take about 10 minutes to complete a game. If you think you're getting hammered after 2 moves you can quit but it's usually worth contining as one turn can easily put you back in the lead.
    Make sure you work on the other Game of Life achievements before doing this as you'll rack up a few wins to get you started.

    VauIt Boy 111I had an issue where the game glitched and iI couldn’t unlock certain achievements pretty sure it was game of life that glitched it. Advice would be going forward concentrate on all the small achievements first for example not the 10 games on life or mousetrap once you’ve done that if you’re sure you have won 10 games and it’s still not unlocking.

    As long as it won’t interfere with other achievements you’re working on delete the save from your hard drive always save to there when playing. Once you’ve deleted it go back and press y on your hard drive and clear your system cache this won’t delete any of your saves don’t worry it will just delete updates. Disconnect your internet so it can’t update. Play the game offline create a new save on the hard drive pick a game where you need the 10 wins once committed DO NOT turn off your console til you have the achievement but the AI can mostly win nearly all the time so get a turbo controller to just to the work for you where it just constantly presses the A button. Just keep playing the games over and over again it took me 5 hours with a turbo controller to get this you will be pulling your hair out without a turbo controller so save yourself time and stress by borrowing or investing in one you will struggle to get this unless you’re happy to leave your aged console on over night. If you have to switch your console off for any reason or it crashes delete your save and do it all from scratch follow the guide all over again and also do not back out to the plaza stay in the game loop til you get the achievement.

    Anyone can message me if they need any help I’m active on TA a fair bit hope this helps someone

    First of all I would recommend doing this with 1 extra controller.

    Choose The Game of Life with these settings:
    Game Style: Original
    Play with Computer Players?: NO
    Select Game Length: Quick Game

    Spin the wheel with both controller to decide who goes first. With your extra controller choose College Career to make him start with a debt of $100,000.
    With your main profile choose Career and do your best during the mini game. If you collected 6 green cases, you can pick 3 job cards which enhances the chance of picking a well payed job. Obviously you would want to pick the job which pays the most.

    As soon as the extra profile lands on the tile where he graduates you're gonna have to do the same mini game. Again, try to collect 6 green cases so you can choose the worst job for your extra profile.

    First Dance mini-game
    If you land on the Wedding tile you have to do another mini-game. You have to repeat the 'Beats' shown on the 'Beat Bar'. Doing nothing results in gaining $5000, performing very well results in gaining $15,000.

    House Hunt mini-game
    If you land on the Buy Your First House tile you have to play a mini-game where you must find matching pairs of houses. Flip the cards to match pairs and pick the Log Cabin (the one with a green roof) with your main profile and the Mobile Home with your extra controller. The Log Cabin is the cheapest house that gives you a resale profit of $20,000. The Mobile Home has no resale profit.

    After playing 5 turns the game ends and leaves you with one last choice:
    Choose the Millionaire Estates with your Main Profile and pick the $50,000 Life Token.
    Choose the Countryside Acres with the Extra Controller.

    All depends on luck with the spinning wheel, but this method should guarantee a win 90% of the time.

    After finishing the game press cn_A to continue and choose to Return to Plaza. You could choose Replay and immediately start the next game, but keep in mind that the game doesn't save your progress (wins) as long as you don't return to the main menu. If your games freezes or you get a power shut down you WILL lose all progress.

    Rinse and repeat 9 more times.
