Pass GO, Collect FUN!




Monopoly

Video Game
(Nintendo Entertainment System, 1991)


File under: Games

I recently got my old school Nintendo Entertainment System back from my friend Grant and discovered that my roommate Adam has a copy of Monopoly for it. I never really played the game when it came out in the early nineties but now I am thoroughly addicted to it. I beat the shit out of my friends the other day and I can not stop playing this video game master piece. I enjoy it mostly due to the fact that people don’t have to count the money out and do boring old mathematics. (Let’s face it, math is never fun) This game automatically does the pesky old math for you! Technology never ceases to amaze me. What will they come up with next? Just like regular Monopoly all the good old game pieces are there. The difference here is they digitally move! Have you ever played Monopoly with your family or friends and the car moves by itself? Well, welcome to the future! This game makes it possible. I have heard that there are other computer game versions of Monopoly. I have never played those knock-offs but I can assure you that they probably eat shit. When it comes to sweet Nintendo sound effects and music Monopoly offers a truly unbeatable soundtrack. When you get out of jail a comical voice comes on and says “Don’t be coming back now!” The Monopoly guy then dusts himself off and walks off the board. When I saw this I almost shot beer out of my nose onto my naked body. If you love Nintendo, love Monopoly and hate doing stuffy math problems then this is the game for you.

Wait wait wait. You say you can't stop playing it, but you also say you beat the shit out of your friends. I find it hard to believe you can do both at once. I am duly inclined to call you a liar. Liar.

I always beat the shit out of my friends. Videogame or no videogame my friends are going to take a hardcore beating when ever I feel the need to give one out. You should know this by now Wags!!
Now I have to beat you. Just remember you brought this on yourself.

You are very right on with that rating Carter. We had it at the old place on East and Lange would always give me shit about playing board games on the NES. I do think, however, that I could build a row of hotels on your ass and make you cry like a girl.

Alright Bumbico. I am ready when ever you are! Do you play with extra computer players as well? I am quite fond of Penelope and Arthur.

I do use the computer player because you can manipulate them to your own ends. I like Penelope (cuz' she's hot) and Ollie (I feel bad for the guy). We should do this,,,
