MONOPOLY for NINTENDO NES, Ref. 4028/NES-6B-USA

Publisher: Parker Brothers - 1991

Packing: Cartridge in a small box

This is a cartridge for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The back side of the box of this American game (made in Japan) says:

"There's visual entertainment with the animated Rich Uncle Pennybags and Community Chest and Chance Cards, and the speedy sports car and other tokens that zoom around the board. Now listen for voice-enhancements such as the 'jailer' who kicks Rich Uncle Pennybags out of Jail, and the digitized sound of the train whistles on the Railroad spaces. Like a real estate big shot, you let computer 'accounting' keep track of your cash, assets, properties, houses and hotels. You can play with real, live real estate moguls or take on the computer opponents (1-8 players), who might be beginners - or savvy big-time traders."

MONOPOLY DELUXE "For Windows"

Publisher: Parker Brothers/Virgin Games, Inc. - 1992

Packing: box 20.5 x 23.0 x 5.7 cm

The nice packing contains both 3½" and 5¼" disks. The carefully edited instructions of this American game (so Atlantic City) do not only describe the game with illustrations but give the "Official Rules" as well.

The board is very detailed and the 8 tokens make noice while going over the board: the horse neighs, the barrow's wheel crunches, the dog yaps etc. As they change direction they are seen from another side as well. All players can, should you wish so, be run by the computer. When you press the dice key, Uncle Pennybags jumps out of the logo and throws the dice. Of course you hear them rolling over the board.

CD-ROM MONOPOLY, Ref. #44036

Publisher: Parker Brothers/Westwood/Virgin Interactive Entertainment Inc. - 1995

Packing: box 23.2 x 26.3 x 4.4 cm

After the 2D computer game disappeared, the 3D "anniversary edition" (60 years) was issued on a CD-ROM in 1995.

Again with this version the board is very detailed, but now the centrefield is used to show the 3D picture of the detail the happening takes place. Furthermore this space is used for status and dialog windows.

At the start of the game a possibility is given to name your "friends on Internet", supposed you are the host. Before starting the game a number of preferences can be choosen under "options". In the first instance it is fun to see everything flutter three dimentional over the board, but this slows down the action. So experience learn that you soon will exclude all these options. But the disadvantage in that case is that the tokens do not make noice anymore and just that was the attraction of the 2D version.
