It started in the home-computer era - in the seventies and eighties - that freaks made more or less sophisticated Monopoly programs for for example Atari, Commodore, Sinclair, MSX and P2000.
Nowadays of course only the games for PC and Internet are interesting. Except of those programs developed by Parker Brothers/Hasbro Interactive there are of other manufacturers as well.

Edition: MONOPOLY voor NINTENDO NES,
              ref. 4028/NES-6B-USA
Issued by: Parker Brothers - 1991
Packing: Cartridge in a small box
Description:
This is a cartridge for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The back side of the box of this American game (made in Japan) says:

"There's visual entertainment with the animated Rich Uncle Pennybags and Community Chest and Chance Cards, and the speedy sports car and other tokens that zoom around the board. Now listen for voice-enhancements such as the "jailer" who kicks Rich Uncle Pennybags out of Jail, and the digitized sound of the train whistles on the Railroad spaces.
Like a real estate big shot, you let computer "accounting" keep track of your cash, assets, properties, houses and hotels. You can play with real, live real estate moguls or take on the computer opponents (1-8 players), who might be beginners - or savvy big-time traders."

The game is no longer available since 1996.

Edition: MONOPOLY DELUXE "For Windows"
Issued by: Parker Brothers/Virgin Games, Inc. - 1992
Packing: box 20.5 x 23.0 x 5.7 cm
Description:
The nice packing contains both 3½" and 5¼" disks. The carefully edited instructions of this American game (so Atlantic City) do not only describe the game with illustrations but give the "Official Rules" as well.
There is really no computer game as nice as this one:

The board is very detailed and the 8 tokens make noice while going over the board: the horse neighs, the barrow's wheel crunches, the dog yaps a.s.o.. As they change direction they are seen from another side as well. All players can, should you wish so, be run by the computer. On pressing the dice key Uncle Pennybags jumps out of the logo and throws the dice. Of course you hear them rolling over the board.

The animations again and again see to surprise like:

This program is sold out since January 1996.

Edition: CD-ROM MONOPOLY , ref. #44036
              ("Play worldwide over the Internet")
Issued by: Parker Brothers/Westwood/Virgin Interactive
                  Entertainment Inc.  - 1995
Packing: box 23.2 x 26.3 x 4.4 cm
Description:
After the 2D computer game disappeared, the 3D "anniversary edition" (60 years) was issued on a CD-ROM in 1995.
Again with this version the board is very detailed, but now the centrefield is used to show the 3D picture of the detail the happening takes place. Furthermore this space is used for status and dialog windows.
At the start of the game a possibility is given to name your "friends on Internet", supposed you are the host. Before starting the game a number of preferences can be choosen under "options". In the first instance it is fun to see everything flutter three dimentional over the board, but this slows down the action. So experience learn that you soon will exclude all these options. But the disadvantage in that case is that the tokens do not make noice anymore and just that was the attraction of the 2D version.

Description:
The execution of this game corresponds very much the American version (ref.#4406) of 1995 with those 3D animations. Although the board is of the Dutch game it is a rather inaccurate transformation from the American game into the Dutch one, because of the fact that rather a number of animations are in English.
