- A playthrough of Hasbro's 1997 themed board game adaptation for PCs running Windows 95, Monopoly Star Wars CD-ROM Edition.
I played through a single game as Boba Fett against the AI controlled Princess Leia and R2D2, both set to the medium difficulty level.
All in-game graphics settings are maxed out, and the game is being run in Windows 10 with compatibility settings for Win95. ClearType has been disabled so that the in-game text appears correctly.
Monopoly has appeared on nearly all platforms from the 80s onward, but rarely do the license-based themed versions appear in electronic forms. Thankfully, Artech shows some real skill and love in bringing Monopoly Star Wars to the PC, nailing the presentation with a lot of cool flourishes that just wouldn't be possible with any other format. It looks and sound amazing for a game released in 1997.
The whole thing is narrated by Anthony Daniels, better known as the voice of C3PO, and each of the player pieces are animated CG clips that run, jump, and whatever else between spaces on the fantastically detailed 3D game board. Every space has multiple video clips taken from the original trilogy to frame the action (and they're of usually surprisingly high quality), and all of the sound effects are pretty authentic (Even if the players themselves lack any voices besides some weirdly off-sounding grunts). The background music is also pretty good, but it is done with midi files - the Sound Blaster 16 music here is why it sounds like a Sega Genesis game, but any wavetable playback sounds pretty close to the original songs. I just went with the FM music because this is how it sounded back when I used to play the game in the 90s.
While eventually the game loses a bit of its appeal after a few plays once the video clips start repeating (mainly because the Star Wars flourishes do slow the pace of the game a fair amount), it really makes a pretty magical experience the first couple times. It's a fantastically well done tribute to the sci-fi epic, and any fans of Monopoly or the films would be remiss to not check it out!

Monopoly Star Wars is a completely fantastic tribute to the venerable space opera - if you like Star Wars or Monopoly, you'll find little to fault in this superb adaptation of the board game.
My dad was such a Star Wars nerd that he owned almost every piece of Star Wars merch, including this game.
It's good to know that this game will stand the test of time because it had arguably the best version of Imperial March that I have ever heard.
The characters that could have been playable in a prequel edition of Monopoly Star Wars:
- Anakin Skywalker
- Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Padmé Amidala
- Jar Jar Binks (cause hesa everyone's favorite Star Wars character)
- R2-D2 (one of the main staples bridging the prequels with the original trilogy)
- Darth Maul
- Jango Fett
- General Grievous
This game deserves a place on the switch
And ps4/5
Oh yeah that too
This game is awesome and had scenes from the movie to make it more legendary!
yeah scenes from the bad version
but atleasst they showed han shooting first
Really cool! It'd be nice to see on GOG.
I owned this game back around 2010 or earlier I believe. True nostalgia
99 year
The imperial palace was formerly known as Palace Of The Republic or Presidential Palace and served as a residence for the supreme chancellor of the Galactic Republic for several millennia
Got any more Star Wars playthroughs planned since this year is the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars?
Yeah, I have a few more Star Wars games I've recorded that I'll be putting up.
how did you get the audio working? I did a virtual box and i get no sound?
Hahaha I remember this one! (Among the Chess Star war)
I remember buying this when I was a kid thinking it was a board game. I didn't even have a PC.
I use to play this all the time
Ok , so how do you you trade during your turn ? ( also : the other players will trade when its your turn in trading ... a computer cheat ... i dont think its fair .
I can never figure out how to play Monopoly but we just love playing this game on our computer
Every time I played this game I'd always play with five computers but that was years ago
How I miss this game...
It would be great if fans made a mod to Monopoly plus with Expanded universe characters. And have the colored properties signify a sector of the galaxy instead of "colonies ".
Have you already did SpongeBob Monopoly?
