Synopsis
A remake of the 1991 NES game, Monopoly lets players see the entire board during the cinematic sequences that play while the tokens move across the spaces. The rest of the enhancements are in the graphics and animation. The computer still automatically takes care of the banking, and up to eight human contestants can take turns competing. In addition to standard Monopoly, this 16-bit rendition lets players select from 12 preset games, each of which involves starting with a certain amount of cash and properties.
