I dunno, as I remember most Monopoly games I played ended quite
definitively with a lot of screaming and board flipping ;-)

Side note: did you know Westwood Games (see thread below!) developed
one of the many Monopoly games for PC? It was the Monopoly CD-ROM
version for Windows 3.1, released in 1995. 

It's actually not that bad (you know, taking into account that it's
Monopoly), finding a good balance between the dry table-top board game
and its multimedia enhancements. Too many PC translations of the game
go overboard with the latter, but the Westwood edition goldilocksed
it.

I mean, I still don't want to play it... but if I had to play any PC
version of Monopoly, I'd probably go with the Westwood version. ;-)
