WALL STREET RAIDER (for Windows) is the
ultimate in sophisticated financial simulations, a corporate takeover and
stock market game and simulation, in which you strive to build your corporate
empire by fair means or foul, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of
the SEC, IRS, Justice Department, EPA, Congress, powerful unions and no end
of ruthless competitors -- not to mention various manmade and natural economic
and other disasters. ... and much more, in the quest for the Almighty Dollar. The individual player can also engage in risky (but sometimes lucrative) activities for his or her own account, such as short selling of stocks, or buying and shorting put and call options. And, of course, you'll have ample "ethical choices" thrust
upon you from time to time, where you will have to choose between playing ibly) winding up in serious
legal or financial trouble if you decide to "Go for the gold,"
rather than "do the right thing."
Some people think of Wall Street as their own casino but if you treat it like
a game of online slots
and gamble you can find yourself in serious trouble.
All your investment research and financial wheeling and dealing occur against the backdrop of a nonstop "live" stock ticker tape, scrolling financial news tape, and a constantly shifting economic and political environment in which all the companies and industries in Wall Street Raider must operate and try to cope. Speedy decision-making is of the essence, and sweaty palms are a certainty, as you try to cope and keep your company's earnings on an upward track -- or at least keep yourself out of Bankruptcy Court!

Wall Street Raider has received a number of very favorable reviews over the years from major Web sites, such as ZDNET, Download.com and PCWorld, as well as highly favorable reviews in print publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Byte Magazine, PC World, and, on June 22, 2000, we rated a two-column, very favorable front-page article in Investor's Business Daily, which called W$R an "...imaginative, stimulating..." business simulation. Previously, computer columnist Jerry Pournelle had written of W$R, that "You can really learn something about stocks, mergers, takeovers and the general world of finance, and have a whacking good time in the bargain." More recently, in November of 2008, Wall Street Raider was voted one of the 50 Best Video Games for Business by bschool.com As another reviewer, at the 3D2F.COM software directory, notes, "Wall Street Raider is an award-winning financial simulator that critics have praised as being 'imaginative, stimulating and educational.' In this game, you will start your own career and as a market player, investor, broker, owner of your own business - no matter which role you choose, you will have to elbow your way through a horde of competitors to reach the pinnacle of success."
