Monopoly GBA

Does anyone at DSI Games even know what Monopoly is? This version of the
game has so many bugs in it, I'm shocked that it was even released in this
condition. Here are just a few of the rules mistakes made by Paul McNab &
co...

Luxury Tax is supposed to be $75, not $100
If you get out of jail by rolling doubles, you do NOT get to roll again
You should be able to raise money during an auction
Rent on an undeveloped monopoly should be doubled

In the UK edition (at least), the two taxes are £100 (before Go), and
£200 (after Go), so afaik, they're right. Perhaps many years ago the
£100 tax was £75

> If you get out of jail by rolling doubles, you do NOT get to roll again

Yes you do, because you can roll 3 doubles, and go straight back in
(like I did the other night - I must have spent half the game in jail,
still won though ) (hotels on mayfair, park lane & all the yellows =
ch-ching!!))

> You should be able to raise money during an auction

Yes, you should. This seems to be an annoying flaw in all computer
Monopoly games

> Rent on an undeveloped monopoly should be doubled

Quite right! It should be.



You would think they would have read the rule book before making the
game, wouldn't you? Or is that too much to ask?

Think I'll stick to playing Monopoly with dice & a wheel barrow.

You've found a lot of "bugs" but missed the biggest error they made with the
game. Why didn't they put a save option and a battery? At least then you
could save a game and continue it later!

Then it wouldn't be a $15 dollar game?

I have gotten the following DSI Games: Paperboy/Rampage,
Gauntlet/Rampart, and Spy Hunter/Super Sprint. The only one I have
played so far is Gauntlet. No bugs there.
