The visuals too probably have something to do with the 'deluxe' tag but while they may have seemed impressive back in 1992, they certainly don't warrant much attention now, being simply serviceable and little more. So what makes this version 'deluxe'? Well, it's mainly down to the extensive range of options which can be customised to suit your playing needs, with everything from game length, sounds, board appearance and even the rules capable of being tweaked to keep the players happy.

The gameplay is of course the same as the board game and requires players to move around the board, buying property, trying to stay out of jail and generally making as much money as possible. This version joins the ranks of other computer adaptations of board games such as Risk, Space Hulk and Scotland Yard and while it does retain a certain amount of the original's fun factor, it does lack that certain something which would make it a classic and a must play. Monopoly really shouldn't need any introduction at all, with its status as a classic board game being totally deserved and undisputed and with most of the world's population having played it at some point.
