Developed by Artech Studios, it was published by Hasbro Interactive, Inc. for Windows and MacSoft for the Mac.

The only major difference between this game and its re-release was the absence of the board editor in Monopoly 3.

[3] Mac Gamer reviewer Danilo Campos thought it was a solid adaption of the board game, but that it didn't make the physical version obsolete.

[5] Jeuxvideo.com thought the graphics were "simple", the gameplay "lacked originality", its replayability was "limited", and the music was mostly "repetitive".

[8] Dan Adams of IGN wrote that the game lacked in imagination and creativity.
