Interested in downloading a game of Monopoly, but not necessarily buying one of the many commercial Monopoly games? This list includes a large number of freeware, shareware and Open Source versions of the Monopoly for Windows, Linux, the Mac, windows mobile devices, iphones and various cell phones. There are even a few web-based games. Below we'll give you the download links and a brief description.
These games (and the source code) are free to use, but you must adhere to the terms of the license agreement. They were developed within the Open Source community, and run on a wide range of platforms and operating systems. Some of these are to be run on servers, as a game host site, other will run on a PC. Many of these work for over the internet play.
These are games which are generally free to use (or at least try), at this writing none of them supported network play. They are available for various operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, mobile phones, windows mobile devices, iphones, blackberry and more).
These are officially licensed products, and do cost money. If you're interested in running Monopoly on the Palm OS or PocketPC, you're limited to Handmark's Monopoly, or downloading the CD version.
