Monopoly Junior CD-ROM
Set in an amusement park, traditional Monopoly Junior game-play comes to life right on the computer screen, with a fabulous 3D environment, fun characters and challenging mini-games. As children move around the board, they set up ticket booths and collect fees from other players who land on their rides. Land on a chance card and get sent to different rides like the Roller Coaster, Merry-Go-Round, Haunted House, Miniature Golf Course and Ferris Wheel to play mini-games. And just as in the "grown-up" Monopoly, the player with the most cash at the end wins.
