The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Milton Bradley’s Battleship has been a family favorite since its introduction in 1943 (under a different name then), and several electronic version have made their way home over the last few decades. The company cashed in on the success of the 16-bit consoles by releasing a version for both the Genesis and the SNES, and while it wasn’t bad, it lacked the excitement that made the original board game so famous.
Everyone likes board games! Among them, one is king, and it’s pretty tough to beat when it comes to video game renditions of these American classics. I’m talking about the one and only Monopoly, a game that everyone knows. It’s time to take those hotels into the digital realm, friends! Fire up your Genesis, grab a few friends, and prepare to spend the next twenty hours or so trying to stay out of jail.
Some board games translate well to video game format, such as Clue. Being able to play such a classic without having spread out all those tiny pieces and board over a table is a great thing, and the multi-player fun has been maintained intact. Parker Brothers has a long history of converting its traditional line up to digital format, and this is one of their better efforts.
