1982 Work Force (UK)

The first Monopoly computer game I've played.
I was always fond of this one. I loved the board game and I was quite pleased with the computerized version.
Everything is in here, every feature of the original is included and you easily get into the spirit of the board game. It even includes some dice rolling to add a little more realism, not too much unfortunately, just enough.
Mind you, you don't have computer players, so you must play with at least one friend. But that's OK, the same goes with the board game...
Can't complaint much about the speed either, but I must warn you that it's completely written in BASIC. But don't worry, it's fast enough.
It's also not a graphic paradise, you only get a few graphics and animations, like in those books where in each 50 pages you have an illustration, giving you only an idea of what's happening in the story. That's why simple looking games have so much charm, because they let you use your imagination.
Overall, a simple game that captures the board version competently and gives you a few good moments, even hours, with your family and friends.
