The Game of Life - CD-ROM Version

CD-ROM Version

In 1998, a CD-ROM version of the game was produced by Hasbro which added computerized moves and short animations to the game. An option was also given for players to compete in games over the Internet.

Several features of the 1980s version were also resurrected for this version of the game, such as "collecting presents" for marriage and kids and exacting "Revenge" on other players. Life tiles also provided mini-games to gain more money instead of drawing a tile. Finally, retiring had players choose between Countryside Acres and Millionaire Estates, where players spin the wheel to earn more money while waiting for others to finish. The payouts for Countryside were lower but safer, whereas the Estates had larger payouts but numerous chances for losing large amounts as well.
