Needs to tell profits and -'s so players can tell if they made money without staring down the stocks every second on play. But it did so some effort. 4/5

Here's some advice: buy a cheap share in a company thats growing, focus on that one company. set a limit on your spending, say you just made $1000 on a company, sell the stocks, reinvest about 500 bucks on a new company, if its growing and its cheap, buy more stocks. Use the pause button for buying and selling, it stops the time so you dont lose money. Remeber Kids, TIME I MONEY!

Terrible. Please add charts and indicators. Looking at prices move does not make any sense. You need charts and news to make this fun.

This game sucks. There is no charts, news, or anything to gauge trading market conditions. This is a complete waste of time.

This game is actually a new remake of an old c64 game I played many years ago. It was fun then and is still but it don't stand the test of time that well. 3 out of 5.

Nice game, it isn't supposed to be graphics fancy, but it is kind of like a learning experince for the real market. Buy high sell low. Nice game for the genre it's in ;) 5/5

The stock market isn't completely random though... even though many like to think so. I think it would be cool to add like random news events and announcements that affect the market... adding real strategy.

"Features" like what price I purchased stock at isn't something that scares people away, in fact, the opposite, it'll scare away those people who don't want to annotate everything on a piece of paper.
It makes the game easier to play, rather than a mindless "woo, I made money...." timewaster

Thank you for your comments. I realise this is not the most exciting game in the world. If you join the forum you can use it for it's historic data, so you can watch the markets around sept 11th 2001 and things like that. It's more of a basic training tool for newbies to the market. I will take on board your suggestions and maybe make a new version with even extra features. I was scared of having too many features in this game, as it might have scared off first timers.

Amazing, I hope I can learn something about the Stock market from this game.
I really can't stop playing =)
I coul use an averange purchase price next to the stock, you know, it must consider the price you paid for each stock at the time you bought it...
About the kongregans complains, just add a cash register sound everytime the player makes profit and a messange in big golden letters show up with the profit ammount right in the middle of the screen... or put in a bunny that seldon runs across the screen, when you click it, it explodes, the children will no longer complain.

Well, you could have done so much with this, but didn't. Nice potential. First off I would setup porfolio reports. Show origional purchase prices, graphs, such and such. If you really want to put some work in, setup network play and have the stock prices influenced by actual selections of people playing.

Interesting game, I'd probably play a full round just for kicks if I could stop and save so I could come back later =/
