    Google Monopoly Off to A Bad Start. Players Unimpressed

    Picture 16

    Google’s Monopoly, City Streets is off to a bad start.

    After Mr Monopoly, its official blogger announced that this highly anticipated game was up and running, its server somehow caught “fire” and the only thing that’s showing is a Apache 2 Test Page.

    The delay has frustrated many players. Those who managed to sneak in either had their game crashed or received a message saying “Country not supported yet”.

    Country not supported yet

    I am not sure exactly which countries are displayed as unsupported but besides North Korea, Israel and other countries, which chose not to provide map information to Google, most countries should be up for play. This has definitely ruffled some players and caused some confusion.

    Google Chrome works? Ans: No

    Some players even switched to Google Chrome to test out if City Streets works better on Google’s own browser.
