THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS ARE FOR THE CGA AND MONOCHROME COMPATIBLE VERSION
OF MONOPOLY. TO START THIS VERSION, TYPE THE COMMAND: MONOPOL (PRESS ENTER)
MONOPOLY II
This program is public domain and as such can be distributed freely. The
purpose of this game is to provide entertainment to as many people as possible
I would like to encourage you to share it with your friends. Monopoly is a
is a copywrite of Parker Bros. This game is not a replacement for the original
game. It is intended to be used as an opponent for human monopoly players.
This is the second version of the program. The original version has some bugs
which are very annoying. Hopefully these problems have all been corrected in
this release of the program. Also, changes have been made to speed up play,
and some new features have been added.
The program will work on monochrome monitors, however a color monitor produces
much better results.
As with any program the possibility exists that there are bugs in this program.
I appreciate those of you who find these pesty vermin for me. Please let me by
know by mail and I will make every effort to eradicate them in a later version.
Copies of the source program are available for $35.
