Wall Street Raider
Description
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. In this highly realistic simulation, 1 to 5 players (including the computer) compete to amass fortunes, investing in, or taking over and managing, any of up to 1590 companies in 70 industry groups. Once in control of a company, youll use all the tricks of the trade of real Wall Street corporate raiders to expand your empire and net worth:
startups/IPOs tender offers greenmail stock-for-stock mergers LBOs white knight defenses antitrust suits and other litigation restucturings excessive CEO salaries firing management asset restructuring mass layoffs tax avoidance asset-stripping liquidations industry domination ... and much more, in the quest for the Almighty Dollar. And, of course, youll have ample ethical choices thrust upon you from time to time, where you will have to choose between playing it straight or making a quick killing and (possibly) winding up in serious legal trouble if you decide to go for the gold, rather than do the right thing.
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 companys earnings on an upward track -- or at least keep yourself out of Bankruptcy Court!
