Monopoly is just a rip-off of Florida. Hospice care is also a rip-off of Florida. Florida is basically death's waiting room, and this is the board game that you have to play while you wait. Monopoly is like listening to a terrible teacher lecture you, and that teacher is the father of the Six Flags guy. The most optimal way to play Monopoly is with an oxygen tank while Everywhere At The End Of Time is playing over a loudspeaker, and if you're really hardcore, you should try playing it while on an IV drip too. Monopoly is basically like a disappointing trip to Sea World where you have to also watch the 'trainers' abuse the animals after the show. Playing Monopoly is equivalent to starring in Dallas Buyers Club and then watching it all the way through multiple times. You just sit there and watch yourself physically waste away into nothingness over and over and over again until you're sick of watching yourself in the process of dying and just want the grim reaper grant you the sweet release of death, but instead he just gives you more fucking Monopoly money. I hate Monopoly. I hate Monopoly! I fucking hate Monopoly.
I spent one entire afternoon as a kid playing the SNES version of this alone through an emulator. That is the entire extent of my experience with this version of Monopoly. I don't know if I really have anything of value to say about it, other than that it impressed upon me just how fucking long a Monopoly game can be.
There's something I cherish about having extremely vivid memories of the days I spent doing dumb shit like this.

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.
