Update:July 31, 2003
«©NCSX» The American board game called Monopoly dawned upon Charles Darrow of Germantown, PA in the early 1930s. Darrow showed the game to Parker Brothers in 1934 but the company rejected it on the grounds of poor design and an overly complicated play structure. Undaunted, Charles displayed Monopoly at the 1935 Toy Fair to the throngs. That same year, it became the best selling game in America and it continues to sell to this day. Monopoly has been translated into 26 languages, including Braille, and the threat of capitalist reckonings succors global appeal. The Gamecube version mimics the board game well with an animated 3-D board, moving pieces, and jingles and chimes when you move about. Unfortunately for gaijin, the game's entirely in Japanese but the game is so well known and familiar that it's fairly easy to figure out and dive into. Up to four players may join the action and play mini-games in addition to the classic Monopoly game. JAN Code: 4904810654858 This document is ©NCSX 2003. All rights reserved.
