As to cut-throat monopoly, think that would've described a pretty normal game (not quite as far back) brother & myself vs. parents.

(needless to say with him rolling like that we defeted them with only one charicter lost and all the others were fine.by the way i play v1

I had only been playing D&D for about two months. It was awesome. I couldn't believe how big gaming was. Anyway, I actually played in the (TSR) AD&D tournament and we got our collective asses kicked. It was't Ghost Tower that was the next year, I think. Again, my memory jumbles stuff from back then and I am too lazy to check the date right now.
