I used to like Monopoly, then I became a board game geek and got into games made by germans, and found Monopoly to be quite a "stupid" game with no skill. Just roll the die, move your piece, pay the money for rent or decide to buy it. Ifyou want to play good games, look for games made by Reiner Knitzia. Also, Hasbro is one of the few American game makers that make great games. Look for Heroscape(brand new about $40), Battleball(about $10), or Star Wars Epic Duels($10)

p.s. not to advertise but for more info on boardgames go to www.boardgamegeek.com and there is a complete listing of every board game availible, complete with pics, review, etc.

Hmm, do u know Monopoly is licensed under Hasbro?

Monopoly's fun, but I prefer to play it with humans, more fun I guess, I'll still give this a try though.

Well in the PC version, if you put the AI on hard they would cheat like a mug. They would find any and EVERY possible way to go to jail in the late game (when properties are gone and buildings are up). They'd get the jail cards, roll 3 doubles in a roll, land on the go to jail space, etc. It sucks ass playing against them because it takes forever to take all of their money that way. But yeah they are pretty dumb. If you have any money you can buy complete Monopolies from them. I would spend $10,000-20,000 per Monopoly sometimes. Good times. Hehe

I would have assumed this is multiplayer (Monopoly without multiplayer wouldn't be very popular).

The question is: can you play multiplayer with single cart?

You can't play over a link cable at all, you can play multiplayer by passing round the GBA I believe... rather like playing versus mode with more people in Advance Wars 2.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
