PROGRAM INFORMATION:
--------------------

BUSINESS -- CORPORATE FINANCIAL SIMULATIONS
GAMES -- STOCK MARKET
GAMES -- SIMULATIONS
GAMES -- STRATEGY
EDUCATION -- BUSINESS
BRIEF PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
"HIGHLY REALISTIC SIMULATION OF CORPORATE
FINANCE AND WALL STREET SKULDUGGERY"
LONGER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Enlist in the Corporate Wars! W$R allows
1 to 4 players (including the computer) to
engage in amazingly realistic corporate
wheeling and dealing, Wall Street style.
Mount hostile takeovers, restructure sick
companies, trade on inside information, do
LBO's, mergers, file harassing lawsuits
against competitors, engage in greenmail
payoffs, seek "White Knights" to help you
"shark-proof" your company from other
marauding junk bond takeover artists,
while you struggle to keep companies you
control profitable, against ruthless
industry competitors and arbitrary
government actions. Non-stop action with
a live (simulated) stock ticker and an
unending flow of earnings reports, financial
and political news pouring off the "broad
tape" as you use sophisticated research
tools to try to keep your investments in any
of 150 companies (IBM, Exxon, GM, etc.)
afloat. Effortless to play, the incredibly
realistic, ever-changing Wall $treet Raider
simulation compares to other stock market
games like chess does to checkers. THERE'S
NOTHING ELSE REMOTELY LIKE IT AT ANY PRICE!
