Monopoly: Internet Tycoon Edition
In some humorous news Hasbro, makers of the ever-popular and classic game Monopoly, has officially launched its next edition of the game to fit with the popular times. Instead of "Chance" and "Community Chest," the Internet edition features "E-mail Just In" and "Download," while almost everything else has changed, with the exception of jail, free parking, and Go.
With this edition, rather than buying Boardwalk and Park Place, players now purchase Yahoo! and Excite@Home, as well as AltaVista, CNet, and Sun Microsystems. But wait, the board lacks the following big hitters: Microsoft, Amazon.com, and America Online. You have to wonder why they are left off...
On top of that, instead of the ridiculous luxury tax, your ISP may cut your connection! The new edition can be found in stores everywhere. You can read the article over at ZDNet if you'd like.
