Synopsis

Don Phillip Gibson developed this Monopoly game on a Tandy 1000 computer in an effort to teach himself the Borland Turbo Pascal programming language. Released as Shareware, the game can be played by 2 to 4 players and includes a Save Game feature.

Gibson's finished product incorporates all of the official rules of the Parker Brothers original game.

Selecting a letter from a menu invokes another menu. The only real graphic is the simple CGA board.
