Hi Tom, It was a lot of fun creating a DOS Monopoly game in 1996 with different sounds for each property and for each card picked. At the time Carl was not comfortable in writing an artificial intelligent opponent so we designed the game only to be played by more than one person but not one person against the computer. Of course we had the limitation of having to fit it on a 1.5 MB floppy disk thus the sounds had to be very short and of low quality. We picked sounds that would simulate a trip to Atlantic City New Jersey starting with jet and bus sounds and ending with a person walking on the boardwalk. And there were all the great token sounds that played as you went around the board. Phil
