Preamble: This isn't a review. It doesn't contain critical analysis, just the subjective opinions of one person. The intent is to remember the games I've come across in my life and share the nostalgia, nothing more. And some of those games I didn't play in great depth.

Very short one this time, but one of the first games I ever played.

When I was about 8 or 9 years old we got our first computer. It was a 386 with a 33 Mhz processor, 4 MB of RAM, and a whopping 81 MB hard drive, sporting the flash Windows 3.1.

One of the games on that computer was a simple version of Monopoly which was distinguished only by the fact instead of counters you had small people of various colours who comprosied of only a few pixels each.

For a long time I forgot the name fo the game and couldn't find it online, until last week. It was called Tegl Monopoly and here is a screenshot:



You could set up a few basic settings, and you could have dozens of players unlike the real game.

Memorable Moments

I used to play this game by myself with all the pieces. I played all of them, and I would pick 4 of them who would each take one side of the board (in terms of property). Then the 4 with property would fight it out by random chance to see who would win the game. The others were essentially just a source of income.
