archizzy 02/29/24 1:09:58 PM #7:	I dont even know those games. They must be more modern. I grew up on the classic stuff like The Game of Life, Monopoly, Sorry!, Trouble, Candyland, Battleship, and Connect Four. Stuff like that. The Game of Life was my favorite.

So even though the games in the original post were from 1981 and 1983 they were very modern games that I wasnt aware of at the time. And the game you posted is from like 2000.

In addition if you remove the edit all you end up with is a list of super popular games that received remakes just about every decade for almost 100 years, so there is no reason to believe that you actually played the "original" (like, obviously not the actual original when you are calling the game "Monopoly" instead of "The Landlord's Game") instead of the prolific amount of remakes that happened. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
