QBasic Monopoly, by Matthew Leverton

This is the first real game I ever attempted to do on my own. I started it when I was 12 years old and did most of the work in GW-BASIC (line numbers and all). I finished it off in the free version of QBasic that came with a "new" PC. A year later or so, I compiled it with QB45.

For the most part it is a fully working two-player game. I've included the source code in the download available on my site. For those of you who are too "embarrassed" to release your source code, you no longer have an excuse!

When I started the program, I didn't understand (or, in some cases, have access to) arrays, functions, graphics, etc. The only resource I had was the online QB reference; the Internet sure would have been helpful.

The ironic thing about it all is that it is one of the extremely few games I ever finished.
