Wall Street Kid is a 1990 stock market simulation game developed by SOFEL Corp. in which the player is tasked with managing his money, physical fitness, and romantic life in order to receive a massive family inheritance.
I have, and I played the hell out of it. I just remember that after you play it a while, you can figure out which stocks are going to jump up and which will fall. That's how I beat the game, by just remembering what to do. I think it was all scripted and there was no randomness to how the market worked each time you played.
Yeah I played alot of this game. It was one of those odd games late in the NES life cycle. As systems get old they run out of ideas and you get Stock Market/Life simulators like this.
Woah, this is an old-ass post. Two years ago? Anyway, yes, I played Wall Street Kid, I preferred M.U.L.E. BTW, here's a picture I just took with a photo of the game in box.
So I know this is an old thread but its not worth making a new WSK thread. I just thought about this game and figured someone on GB would have been talking about it. This is one of the last NES Games (and Deja Vu) that I got new. I played the hell out of it. I was a finance minded kid who grew up and got an economics degree. WTF?
I wasn't born when the NES was out? Or the SNES for that mattter? I was born a few months before the N64 was released, actually. But yeah, this game looks cool.
