GAME SETUP
The game manual lists 4 levels of complexity, however this guide will only deal with level 1.
The physical game comes with a game board, but using the board is not necessary for level 1.

GAME SCREEN
The game screen is divided into 4 areas:
- Ticker (top of screen)
  scrolls through all 30 stock options and their current values.
- News Flash (middle of screen)
  shows news updates and prime rate fluctuations.
- Player Accounts (bottom of screen)
- Bar Chart (vertical bar starting from right side of screen)
 "reflects the over-all market performance during each quarter of a year").

PLAYER ACCOUNTS:
There are a total of 8 slots for Player Accounts:
Slot 1 is the player's base account and current value:
 (ACT1 for player 1 account (in gold) and ACT2 for player 2 account (in green)).
 Each player starts with $100,000 (stock investments do not decrease this value).
Slots 2 through 8 are open for other individual stock entries.
 Each player takes turns investing in up to 7 different stocks (see GAME PLAY).
 The most a player can invest in any given stock is $99,000.
 (All stocks will start out at a base value of $50 per share).

GAME PLAY
- push 'UP' or 'DOWN' on the controller to scroll to an 'open' stock account.
  (during this procedure, the 'news flash' will not be visible).
- enter the 3-letter stock selection (SOL, VEN, etc.), press 'ENTER'.
- enter the amount to invest ($100 up to $9900 in $100 increments) press 'ENTER'.
- scroll to the next open stock account and repeat until all desired accounts are entered.
- the increases and decreases in each stock account will scroll through the ticker.
- If the value of a stock has risen, the player can sell the stock to make a profit on the difference.
- The profit will be added to the Player's main account.
- Selling a stock that has decreased in value will be subtracted from the player's main account.
- to sell stock, scroll to desired stock, press the 'ACTION' button. $100 worth of stock will be sold.
  (holding down the 'ACTION' button will continue to sell the stock in $100 increments until released).
