Online Board Games

So a week or two ago a friend got his hands on an original NES and since we've been playing through a box full of old games he and his brother still had in their garage. This has been a great time and oddly enough a game we've enjoyed quite thoroughly has been Monopoly. This got me thinking that it would be great to be able to play some of the classic board games online but quick searches didn't pan out too much in regards to quality or that could play over the net so I figured I would see if any of you knew of monopoly or a site that has a bunch of old school board games redone for online multiplayer. Free would be preferable but pay wouldn't be out of the question. I know some products exist to buy remakes of these games but I'd rather just play in an online web based format if I could since most of the games are super simplistic to recreate. So, anyone know of any?

Step-by-Step Instructions to play Monopoly online via Atari.com

On the Atari.com home page, click on the phrase "Click here" in the sentence "Click here to play the fun games at Games.com."

Under the tab "Play Games" and in the box marked "Board and Word Games," click on the link for Monopoly.

The next screen lists various Monopoly "game lobbies" (e.g. Boardwalk, Park Place, Reading Railroad). Select one, making sure it has an adequate number of active players -- a minimum of 20 is my recommendation. There is no functional difference between game lobbies.

Don't know if the info is still valid, but seems great.

I played on pogo.com a long time ago... But then I went back to college, and I see all of these other arcade sites. Addictinggames, GameHippo, miniclips, and now I found Andkon a few weeks ago.

I liked the sites like playsite ( I think that was it... but it also has been a while) because a few friends of mine got me into playing Monopoly and Scrabble online. And it is cool to do some side chatting, too.

I just don't seem to have the time to have fun online like I used to. Checking mail, and checking forums...
