So ok, its been a reeaaaaaally long time since I posted on here. I never really figured out an identity for this blog. It was just whatever was going on at the time. I'm pretty much converting it to basically cover what I'm passionate about lately, video games, memorabilia, and figures.

So earlier tonight, I was at Game Over in Houston. It sucks that this place opened up in the area I used to live at. I know I would have been here everyday. Tonight they had a Super Bust-a-Move 2 tournament. Even though I've never played this version before, I somehow managed to win it. My prize was a $50 gift card, which I promptly used on a cool old Fist of the North Star NES game, and this Street Fighter Monopoly game that I'd had my eye on since they announced it a while back.

The front of the box has a classic Street Fighter collage showing the entire cast.

 The back just simply shows the board, pieces and some of the changes. 


Some cool art on the interior, not pictured is the rules sheet which was pretty much the same as you would find in a normal Monopoly game, except with the different cards and properties. You can see the money, chance and community chest cards, properties, houses(red), hotels(black), dice and pieces.

 Here you can see the board, similar layout as a normal board. Obviously renamed properties. Railroads are Shadowloo Airlines.


These are probably the coolest thing about this set. Very nicely made pewter pieces of M. Bison, Vega's mask, a Hadoken, Ryu, Blanka, and Chun-Li's bracelet.

Bison bucks! 

Community Chest is now Bonus Stage. Here are some of the ones I found to be funny. "Lose to a button masher! - Goto jail!"

 Chance is now Random Select. Pictured are some of the funnier ones. "Whiff! Go back three spaces!" 
 
 The new properties, Shadowloo Airlines replaces the railroads, Hado and Psycho Power replace Water Works and the Electric Company, and the cheapest and most expensive properties are Saikyo Dojo and Shadowloo Headquarters.


Overall, its mainly for Street Fighter fans. Much like all of the other special edition, its not really worth the higher price tag unless you just really are a fan of it. Or you could just win a tournament and get it for free!
