"An 'imaginative, stimulating' business simulation."
-- Front page article in Investors Business Daily
Get "Wall Street Raider" and "Speculator," the exciting financial stock market games from author Michael Jenkins. There's nothing like these downloadable games anywhere else. These realistic computer games bring the gritty, day-to-day world of Wall Street to your computer. Several avid players of Wall Street Raider have created very detailed YouTube videos, showing how they play the game and explaining many of the features and their strategies. Two of the better videos are listed immediately below. (The videos were not created by the publisher.) A new video was released on how to play Wall Street Raider Version 9.0, in 2021. (A newer version of the game, v. 9.75, was released in 2023.)

"Wall Street Raider" (For Windows) is one of the oldest games on the Internet, published as a DOS version well before the World Wide Web, in 1986, and continually updated and improved before and since it moved to Windows in 2001. The current version (9.75), a major upgrade, was released in 2023. It is a sophisticated corporate finance game where you play as a billionaire, emulating a Warren Buffett or Carl Icahn. Our other financial game, "Speculator" (latest release in August, 2023) is a more recent spin-off, using the same economic/stock market engine, but played as a small investor with only $100,000 to invest and speculate in stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, and commodity and stock index futures, while seeking to build a retirement fund in 30 years. "Wall Street Raider" and "Speculator" continue to be widely played and enjoyed, with a global following in 124 countries and territories, from Antarctica to Paraguay to Zimbabwe. Created by Ronin Software of Ivins, Utah, these downloadable games are fun and educational. A new Version 10.0, with a completely remastered and modernized user interface, is under development, and it should be available for sale on by this summer, on Steam.
Game inventor and programmer Michael D Jenkins, J.D., CPA (retired), is a Harvard Law grad, retired tax attorney and "Big 4" CPA and tax partner in a San Francisco area regional CPA firm, former economic consultant, and a million-selling author of business books. Jenkins, who grew up as an avid fan of the classic real estate game, Monopoly, began developing a corporate board game while he was in law school in 1967, which eventually morphed into a CP/M version of Wall Street Raider on his first personal computer, a Kaypro, in 1984, and soon was published as an MS-DOS version by his book publisher in 1986. He says the countless hours he spent figuring out all the details of the mechanics of complex corporate transactions and how to code them for every situation gave him a huge edge in his years of practice as an attorney and CPA, when structuring billion dollar mergers and spin-offs in the real world. He has put everything he learned over the years into "Wall Street Raider" and "Speculator," making them as realistic as possible, thinking the games would simply provide good entertainment and perhaps help a few people have a better understanding of stocks and bonds. However, he has been astonished and gratified by the reports from many long-time players who have grown up playing WSR and translated what they learned into successful careers as stock and option traders, hedge fund managers, and investment analysts, or just had success in their personal investments.

In addition to the exceptional attention to detail and sophistication of his financial games, Jenkins has created and publishes a similarly extraordinary business application, the Small Business Advisor. He is also the author of a series of tax and legal guidebooks (Kindle e-books) for small businesses, for each of 34 states, such as Starting and Operating a Business in New York.
ORDERING INFORMATION: I apologize for the inconvenience, but in January, 2025 I disabled all ordering links on this site to the ecommerce vendor I have used for all my software sales since 1999, since they ceased paying me for my sales last June and notified me on January 27, 2025 that they were filing for bankruptcy and closed their website shortly thereafter. Thus I am unable to receive credit card payments any longer. My applications to 6 similar digital payment processing firms have all been rejected, apparently because of some perceived "legal risk" of selling stock market simulations/games, although I cannot imagine what that supposed risk might be, and they wouldn't specify. Apparently, the real reason is that my sales are too small and they are now subject to onerous European banking regulations that make it unprofitable for them to take small accounts where most sales are to residents of European countries.
Thus, if you wish to purchase Wall Street Raider, Speculator, or the Small Business Advisor software, the only ways I am currently able to receive payment are if you mail me a check (must be in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank) or, if you trust the mail and don't have a U.S. bank account, just mail $10, $20, etc., in U.S. or other major currency, as indicated below. Apparently, few people these days still know how to write checks or send snail-mail, so I am, effectively, out of business, but am licensing WSR to someone else who will be publishing a remastered and modernized version of it on Steam in 2026, so WSR will continue to be available in the future.
(Note that, for a couple of months, a few individuals outside the U.S., for whom paying by check or cash was not feasible, were simply sending me Amazon gift cards, credited to me personally, to my personal email address, after notifying me of their email address, so I could send them a download link. However, Amazon has decided this was a commercial use of their gift cards, so the last few people who bought gift cards for me paid Amazon, but I did not receive any credit. Amazon apparently just keeps the money. (Thus, PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO SEND ME A GIFT CARD.) Wall Street Raider will be available on Steam, published by HackJack Games, to whom I've licensed the rights, early next year.)
