Okay, I played Monopoly with the kids and, honestly, this NES version is the way to go. No more lost pieces, arguments about money, or someone flipping the board in a rage. It's pretty barebones, but sometimes you just want the classic without the drama.
Good version of the board game, may move too quickly for some, with the details flashing by before you have the chance to take them in. With up to eight players though you can't really go wrong.
It's Monopoly! My favorite board game.
The AI in this one makes really unusual trades sometimes and can work out against your favor. But it is Monopoly and I typically like Monopoly cause it is fun and one of my favorite board games. Just its less of a game and more of just rolling dice and buying things. I got this at a goodwill a couple years ago cause it was cheap.
Ahhh, Monopoly. The Marmite of board games. You either love it for how iconic the game is or you despise it and dread seeing the billion gazillion versions that exist.
You could play it the old fashioned way or a licensed version based around a property, play it in 10 minutes or if you're desperate have the "World's Longest" Monopoly game. Be a cheeky cheater, make sure you're not a sore loser or find the fake money.
It's easy to say that Monopoly is still one of the biggest board games around and when things get popular, there's always going to be a video game version just around the corner.
There's countless different Monopoly video games and this SNES/Mega Drive version happens to be alright. The graphics are decent, there's some nice voice samples here and there and it plays a fairly good game.
On the downside though the pace of it can be somewhat slow and it's rather lacking in the music department... at least when there is some as otherwise it's rather quiet on the sound front.
I'm more of a Monopoly Party guy when it comes to these games (more of a nostalgia thing if anything) but this wasn't bad if you were looking for a Monopoly fix back in the day. And if you weren't then you were probably playing a different board game.

Fun video game adaptation of Monopoly.
