This game came to me on the other side of Dungeons Of Intrigue, but is being sold as a separate piece of software with an 'Etch-a-Sketch' program on the other side. The same difficulties in loading were experienced as with Dungeons, but after changing some program lines (!) I eventually got it up and running.

The aim of the game is to make a killing on the stock market. You start with £5,000 and have the option of buying or selling shares in a range of companies like Ewing Oil, Yoric Micros, Synclair Toys, Borg Sports, ASL Software and Mothercare.

I started by sinking all my cash into Yoric and ASL - and 'sinking' is the right word, because share prices in these companies promptly plummeted. I then spread what was left of my funds a bit more evenly, and gradually began to recoup my losses.

For each turn you have the option of buying, selling, or leaving things as they are; shares held, market fluctuation and cash in hand are all updated automatically.

One thing that began to annoy me was the fact that fluctuation in share prices seemed to be much too random - it was very hard to discern any market trends.

I enjoyed playing Stock Exchange but it didn't hold my attention for too long. It's the sort of game that is fun to play once or twice, but I can't see it proving addictive. Any number from one to four can play.
