The NES Monopoly is a quality console conversion, even if the AI is still easily exploitable. Coincidentally, it has the same sound engine as Action 52.

Unused Text


YOU'RE NOT IN JAIL.

It's impossible to select "GET OUT OF JAIL" when you are not in jail since the option is not seen when you're out of jail, so this text goes unused.

Japanese Version


Title Screen

The Monopoly logo is in Japanese, and the TOMY logo is added. The outline on Rich Uncle Pennybags is also fully drawn on JP.


Game Text


In the Japanese version, all text is in Japanese except for the copyright screen. This is rather extensive for a game localization.


Voice Acting





Hmmm...

To do:
Add the voices from the French and German versions.

The sampled sound effect for leaving Jail has been changed.

Different Cartridge Board


The cartridge board was changed to use CHR-RAM instead of CHR-ROM to accommodate more Japanese characters in the font. During times where graphics are switched in the US version, there is a short delay as it loads the new graphics into CHR-RAM.


Trade Screen Character Portraits

In the Trade screen, the Japanese version adds small animated character portraits. There is a portrait for each of the 8 computer players, as well as Rich Uncle Pennybags for human players. Each portrait has three frames of animation: a neutral face, a happy face, and an angry face.


European Version


Computer Player Names


The European French and German versions change the names of most (if not all) the computer players.
