Years ago, I got ahold of an NES emulator and decided to try out a Monopoly ROM. I ended up playing that game for hours a day. My Monopoly marathon lasted about a week or two, but damn was that game fun.

I tried the SNES version some time later, and it just wasn't the same...

The PC version they used to give out in cereal boxes was a lot of fun. I can't tell if it was "Monopoly 3" or "Monopoly New Edition", but I still remember the intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DuXg9kP0do

My brother and I played it together for hours. The computer opponents put up a challenge and were quite smart—you could do trades with them, which they would accept or reject depending on the situation; sometimes they would even offer you a trade on their own. Each piece had its own personality, animations, and voice clips. I think it might have had online play, too.
