Short: Wall Street Blues, stock market game v2.0 Author: Charles VanTuyl Uploader: johnw@kvnet.org (John Wells) Type: comm/cnet 4 December 1994: v2.0 Well, finally an update! What to improve on this fine game? Well, I started by expanding the company biographies (Renamed to Company Prospectus). Seems you always have one of these before you get into any investing anyway. It now gives you a history of the stocks performance and an average gain percentage. Any of your users try to keep this on paper? I also added the menu items for the screens you see when you first get into the game. Seems I was always getting out of the game and going back in to see them again. I added the Dow Jones index and the Dow Jones percentage of gain. This works like a users account owning 1 share of each stock. When splits occur then it adds a share so the index keeps rising. When a stock goes bankrupt then it resets the shares in the Dow Jones to 1. I haven't heard from anybody on suggestions for changes so the resulting product is from my own imagination from the basic game. I do appreciate the few people who have called to inform me of the bugs they found. It helps alot in getting out a quality game. That's it!
