There's a tool-assisted speedrun of Monopoly for the NES that takes a different approach than the one described in this page: http://tasvideos.org/520M.html ht

  Oddly enough, I came to post exactly that. To spare anyone having to hunt up the obsoleted movie to find the strategy (which hasn't changed in the newest movie, which merely improves luck manipulation), here's a link to their strategy which tells you all the rolls they used: http://tasvideos.org/988S.html http://tasvideos.org/988S.html Actually, there were two routes and the one that would, in theory, be faster ended up being slower because they would have been forced to wait too long for the dice to hit the right numbers. Lest you think that's easy, I suggest looking up the TAS of the Shining Force games. The videos are incredibly boring. The interesting part are the complex process they've gone through to disassemble the random number routines and manipulate them to their benefit. They actually have complex programs in Lua, Matlab or possibly a few other things to optimize the randomness for them, which are pretty crazy. One such discussion of the complex end of luck manipulation can be found here: http://tasvideos.org/2258S.html http://tasvideos.org/2258S.html And the scripts it mentioned are in the forums proper. There may be more (I haven't read the whole thread), but a lot of them can be found here if anyone is interested: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1759&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=160&sid=37a9886c0fd9bd1281a3a230bdfc8d8c http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1759&postdays... It's a LOT more involved than you might expect.
