Top Shop

The gameplay of Top Shop mimics that of Monopoly, but expands on the property management aspect of that game. As in Monopoly, players move across a game board in accordance to the number they roll on a die, purchase unowned properties when they land on such and earn money when they reach the bank. Rolling an "E" triggers a random event, while landing on an elevator space can affect the direction in which the player moves.

Top Shop deviates from Monopoly when players land on spaces owned by other players. Instead of paying rent, the landing-player must buy an item from the owner-player's store. Items cost varying levels of money, and when one buys them they disappear from the store and must be restocked by the owner. In addition, when an item is bought the buyer may receive "cash back" and/or a random number of points which can be used at the bank to buy various special events, such as "Random Money Exchange" or "Win the Game".

The PlayStation version received favorable reviews. In Japan, however, Weekly Famitsu gave it 25 out of 40, citing the game's simplicity as both a benefit and detractor.
