this game reminded me very old old times, when me with my sister and 2 cousins were playing this game. But we were playing not on computer, but with table game if anyone understood what I mean!

Hi there found the 1.05 patch for this game fixes qite a few things:
Bug Fixes: ========= While Virgin Games intends to provide 100% pure entertainment, Murphy's Law (what can go wrong WILL go wrong) sometimes prevails, resulting in the type of undesirable program behavior that most software companies won't admit exists. Unlike these others, Virgin Games is ready to admit that some problems were discovered in version 1.00 and happy to announce that each one has been addressed in version 1.50 and that the current product is (to the best of our knowledge) exactly as originally intended. We wish to thank all of the version 1.00 customers who contributed "bug" reports, with detailed information. We have addressed those reports as follows (maybe you'll recognize yours): o The player may now pay to get out of jail during a computer player's turn. o The game prevents players from buying buildings during another player's turn (between rolls if the player rolled doubles). o Problems which resulted in graphic fragments being left on the screen have been fixed. o If the player gets an "Advance to Go" card while the $400 bonus is activated for landing on GO, the player will receive $400 instead of $600. o If the player trades a large number of properties to another player all at once, the program will no longer run out of memory and cease normal operation. o Problems involving the rolling of doubles have been fixed, including: improper behavior when player bankrupts while rolling doubles, when rolling doubles after rolling to get out of Jail, o Problems involving multi-player functions (pay $50 to each player) have been fixed. o Program now correctly reports property names in history for activity on Tennessee and New York. The following features have been added in version 1.5: o The program has been rewritten to provide faster game animation on slow machines. This optimization does not affect token animation which can be set to varying speeds using the Animation options menu. o There is an option to display "Mortgaged" stripes on the board properties. This is a handy way to let everyone (including the owner) know which properties are currently mortgaged. o New option allows players to view all currently unowned properties. o The rules for Monopoly allow two or more players to contend for houses if the bank cannot satisfy the current demand. These situations are resolved with the house auction, in which players bid for houses under dispute. The bank display window will now show an equation to represent the current number of houses during a turn in which houses are bought or sold. This allows the player to see both the number of total houses which could be auctioned in the event of a conflict and the number of remaining houses which could be purchased without conflict. This equation is (total remaining houses) + or - (houses bought or sold this turn) = (total houses which can be bought this turn without generating a house auction). A negative total means a house auction will be commenced once a player rolls the dice. o The following messages were added to the game history to better document gameplay: game start-up options, building auctions, and forced building sales. o A new ending sequence has been added, allowing the player the following options: Play again, Quit, and Gloat. o If Gloat is selected at the end of the game, the screen is left intact so that a player may save the game history to a text file or save the screen display to an .LBM bit-map graphics file. o The Title Deed window can be closed by double-clicking on its respective space on the board. o Game now allows player to open a Title Deed window on top of an auction window. http://rapidshare.de/files/34597285/mddos150.zip.html |

Hm, I always thought the controls were awkward / clumsy + the layout not really clear in terms of ownership of squares and such.

Take a look at it: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msdos/games/board/monopvga.zip But, of course, you can always click on the topmost player and highlight the squares of that player. It makes the game much less confusing. Last edited by arete; 01-12-2009 at 07:57 AM. Reason: removed |

The best version of Monopoly yet!
I've bought owned and played many different versions of Monopoly for PC... but this one is the best by far. Sure, doesn't have the eye-candy of the newer incarnations, but has a lot more features and better gameplay IMHO.
I have "Monopoly 3" (US and UK editions), "Monopoly by Parker Brothers" (dist. by gameHouse), "Monopoly CD" (by Westwood), as well as the Windows 3.x version of Monopoly Deluxe... Monopoly Deluxe for DOS by far beat's 'em all. Hell, the WinDoZe version of the same game (M.D.) *LACKS* features that the DOS version has! :duh: Anyhow, two thumbs up, and a blast to play in DOSBox with DOSBox's "Turbo Mode" enabled |
