Rags to Riches
"Iz , Auggie and the Groovy Gravy rock band need your help raising $5000 to fix a hole in the ozone layer. For the sake of the real goal of the game (which is to teach you basic business strategies), I’m willing to overlook the absurdity of repairing the ozone layer for $5000; aren’t you? If so, you are the manager of Groovy Gravy’s five-city tour. You get to choose concert venues, set ticket prices, decide on advertising expenditures, and select when to record new songs. Very fun!"

Monopoly Online
"Online Monopoly is a marvelous implementation of a classic that has endured to captivate another generation of players. Before you join a game, take a moment to watch an existing game. Online Monopoly moves much faster than the board game because the computer moves your pieces and handles the bank. All you need to do is click on the dice to roll, and decide which properties to buy or trade. Since these realtime games allow chatting, parent supervision is recommended. Other games to play include Scrabble, Backgammon, Checkers and Chess."
