About this game
What is Wall $treet Raider?
Wall Street Raider is the deepest stock market simulation in gaming history you've never heard of. It's been in active development since 1986. Originally a DOS classic, it evolved through the Windows era and is now being fully remastered for a new generation of Raiders.
Take control of powerful corporations, trade futures and options, and dive into crypto. Build billion-dollar empires, short overhyped stocks, hedge with derivatives. The market is yours.
Trading & Investment
This isn't a simplified stock ticker with pretty graphs like most stock market games out there. Wall Street Raider models real financial instruments and tax implications with real depth.
Buy, sell, and short stocks. Trade options i.e. calls, puts, and advanced spreads such as butterfly, condor, etc. Go long or short on Bitcoin and Ethereum physical coins or futures. Invest in corporate and government bonds. Use interest rate swaps to hedge your positions. You'll have every tool a real investor has.
Banking, Real Estate & Debt Markets
Expand into banking, lending, and real estate finance. Run a major bank. Take over the mortgage industry. Control the loan market.
Borrow strategically, buy and sell bank loans, trade business and consumer loans, deal in prime and subprime mortgages, and set your bank's asset allocation. Manage capital reserves and loan distributions like an actual financial institution.
Corporate Strategy, Mergers & Acquisitions
You have full control over corporate strategy. Expand, acquire, restructure, or gut rival companies. Dominate entire industries through takeovers, stock maneuvers, and financial engineering.
Execute hostile takeovers. Use greenmail. Conduct leveraged buyouts. Merge with competitors or spin off divisions to unlock hidden value. Split stocks, issue extraordinary dividends, call bonds, restructure operations, and elect yourself as CEO or let someone else run it. If it happens in a real boardroom, it happens here.
Market Analytics & Financial Research
You'll need to analyze global markets, research industries, and track competitors to stay ahead. Dig into earnings reports, cash flow projections, market share data, industry growth rates, and economic indicators. Access professional-level research reports. Use the "Who Owns What" tool to map out your competition. Study ETFs, their advisors, fees, and total assets. Information is power and power is money!
Corporate Warfare & Legal Manipulation
Not everything here is fair play. Finance is ruthless and sometimes you need to fight dirty.
File harassing lawsuits to drain competitors through legal fees. Launch antitrust suits to break up rivals. Spread market rumors to create volatility. Execute liquidations for maximum profit. Hire the sharpest legal minds money can buy. The rules exist, but they're flexible if you know how to bend them.
Startups, IPOs & Venture Capital
Build the next tech giant, pharmaceutical leader, or energy powerhouse from scratch. Make capital contributions to promising ventures. Launch private stock offerings to raise money while keeping control, then take it all public when the time is right. Buy assets to grow your topline and invest in R&D to stay ahead of the pack and increase your margins!
Your Empire, Your Way
Own and manage multiple corporations across industries. Toggle autopilot for any company so you can focus where it matters. Buy and sell corporate assets, offload underperformers, acquire new opportunities. Rebrand companies and reinvent your empire as you see fit.
Competitive & High-Stakes Finance
How do you stack up against other financial masterminds? Wall Street Raider features competitive play against computer opponents and deep financial literacy mechanics so you can prove who truly dominates the market.

Month 2 Recap and other updates
👋 Hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to post a short update to let everyone know how the game is going and what I'm currently working on. We have sold over 6k copies of the game and sales are still going strong. Thank you to everyone who bought the game and shared it with their friends and family, you have and continue to motivate Michael and I to keep going. The reception was beyond our wildest expectations. So again, thank you. When deciding what to work on next, several things kept coming up in no particular order: Bugs Localization Modding SDK Performance Layout on different screen sizes Cross-platform/64-bit That being said, here is what I have been working on in order to address these issues long-term: Built my own PowerBasic compiler, called PowerBasilisk, that compiles PB to Rust and can even import Rust modules and packages. This is complete and working, which is pretty awesome and paves the way for: Custom Rust game engine I am calling Tickwright which uses OpenGL/SDL2 instead of Electron. It is also 64-bit, cross-platform, and has Lua modding, localization, and automated testing out-of-the-box to more easily fix these pesky bugs. On top of all this, I have created: A UI Toolkit purely in Lua, and the new display settings also make it to where the game appears the same on all devices. Here's what it might end up looking like: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45560385/803aa08c91d3e4eb4b399cab020aacab249e3f74.png When it's ready for playtesting, I'll put it on a separate branch and let everyone know.Read full article on Community Announcements (eyn)AnnouncementsOfficial

Early Access Delayed
Hey everyone,I want to give you a heads-up that the Wall Street Raider Early Access launch, originally planned for March 12th, has been delayed.The situation is that the game is ready, but the holdup is a technical issue on Steam's end involving the Early Access classification on our store page. Specifically, the Early Access questionnaire that was previously completed appears to have been wiped from their system, and the store page is now locked in a state where I can't re-fill it. We've had an open support ticket with Steam for almost two weeks and are still waiting on a response.Once Steam resolves the issue, we'll be able to set a new date and move forward quickly. I'll post an update the moment we have one.Thank you for sticking with us through this. I haven't had time to respond to all the responses on Reddit and Discord. Both platforms have over 1000 members now each, but I have tried to read messages and I can see the excitement. I am extremely disappointed by this development, but it will pass. I know it's frustrating. But the game will be worth the wait.While we wait, we're releasing the full v9.75 on Itch.io! Michael has heard the requests to play the old version, whether its in anticipation for the new game, personal preference, or wanting to compare the two versions. So I will be working on getting that up ASAP.Stay tuned.Read full article on Community Announcements (eyn)
