===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
WALL $TREET RAIDER, RELEASE 6.0, WELCOMES YOU TO THE CORPORATE WARS!
Law schools and business schools that have site-licensed this unique
financial stock market simulation tell us that their students not only
love playing it, but that it is also the most sophisticated business/
stock market simulation in existence.
Wall $treet Raider is a financial strategy game. An extraordinarily
realistic, "real-time" corporate financial simulation, in which 1 to 4
players (one of whom can be the computer) engage in high-stakes games of
financial empire-building and corporate takeovers. You can emulate a
Carl Icahn or a T. Boone Pickens, using the same tools and techniques as
the real corporate raiders who lurk in the Wall Street financial jungle
of today. These include: junk-bond financed hostile takeovers,
mergers, LBO's, "greenmail," insider trading opportunities, anti-trust
lawsuits against competitors, manipulating corporate earnings, stock-
for-stock mergers, tax avoidance, firing managements, restructuring,
liquidating assets or corporations, seeking to increase market share,
trade stocks and bonds, public offerings, tender offers, and much more.
The action is continuous, with a constantly moving "live" stock ticker
and scrolling teletype "broad tape" of earnings reports and financial/
economic news, full of constant surprises, disasters, and occasional
good news, all of which will tend to give you sweaty palms, as you seek
to adapt and profit from the changing financial world.
The simulation includes 250 companies (IBM, Toyota, Microsoft, etc.)
in 36 industry groups, all of which operate in a "smart," constantly
changing and ruthlessly competitive financial environment. The only
limits on your accumulation of vast wealth in RAIDER are your own
creativity, financial wizardry (which you'll improve), and ability to
finagle within (or around) the SEC, IRS, and antitrust law rules built
into Wall $treet Raider.
Let the corporate wars begin!
NEW FEATURES
