Talk:Monopoly in video games

Revisions
I don't like how the last paragraph is written. Someone please fix it. Shrumster 20:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed section completely, because it's not noteworthy. Whoever keeps adding it back, cut it out. It's an advertisement. If you're going to add that section, add information on the other versions before it. Zapzupnz (talk) 12:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

???
This page is one of the worst I have seen on Wikipedia.

Why is the newest version included in this page and not given it's own page?

Can I start the requested page?

Each release of the game should have its own subsection, briefly describing how it differs from the others, and what machines it runs on. 2fort5r (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Monopoly (video games) → Monopoly video games – or List of Monopoly video games. Either one would avoid an awkward disambiguator that gives the appearance of a (proscribed) incomplete-disambiguation page and would follow established naming structures at. --Relisted.

 * Comment each game is, as far as I can see, simply called "Monopoly" so I think there is awkwardness whatever is done. All the same I think there is a presedent for the move as per site:en.wikipedia.org/ "video games". GregKaye 18:06, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose initial proposal This uses "monopoly" as a descriptor, instead of it being about the board game, and there are many "monopoly" video games that are not concerned with the board game Monopoly. Therefore, prefer [[List of Monopoly video games]] as it indicates through capitalization that this is not "monopoly" but is "Monopoly" -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Your suggestion is not without merit, though if the page were moved as proposed, the displaytitle would make the scope clear; it would appear as "Monopoly video games". Still, I would contest the assertion that "there are many 'monopoly' video games that are not concerned with the board game". What exactly is a "monopoly video game"? --BDD (talk) 13:57, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * monopoly is dominance and control of a market segment or resource. There are many games which sets win conditions as the dominance and control of a market segment or resource. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:19, 1 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Support any title without a disambiguator that can properly define the subject. The current structure of the title could make the reader initially believe that the article is about the term "monopoly" in video games. Steel1943  (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Monopoly: City Streets
As far as I recall (I have been playing it myself for quite a while), the wording like “For several months in 2009, Google Maps hosted an online version of Monopoly, using its maps as the board” is quite incorrect: it hasn’t been “hosted by Google Maps” (implying it was produced/implemented by Google), but basically launched by Hasbro (or some of its production teams), and just used the Google Maps (and OpenStreetMaps altogether) through the public official APIs (as everybody can do, and make their own clone or similar game). Google Maps were used to provide the “gaming board”, draw the city of the game; on top of the city, the lines and the roads were superimposed according to the information taken from the OSM (street geometry, street length – the latter was rather important as depending on the length, the number of possible properties on this street varied). As the visuals were taken from one and the street structure taken from another service, it sometimes caused minor (and sometimes more major) inconsistencies as the could be slightly mismatched. But as a summary, my understanding is it was made by (Hasbro-related) third party. Honeyman (talk) 11:52, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
