STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator

STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator is a life simulator with economic strategy elements. Game was developed by an independent studio Ternox.

Plot

The action of STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator is set in Japan of the eighties and nineties of the 20th century. We take on the role of a businessman playing on the local stock exchange, who cannot forget about his health in the pursuit of money.

Mechanics

STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator allows us to taste the life of a businessman in the truest sense of the word. The game is all about looking at various charts and tables filled with numbers and buying shares of various companies and selling them at a profit. It is worth remembering that our actions have an impact on the entire market. Although the corporations existing on it are fictional, but the real world counterparts of GemuStop, Ninento, Sani, Panasenic or Tomota can be identified rather easily.

Collected funds can be invested 18×16 svgin real estate or cars, or used for other, not necessarily legal business ( it's enough to say that the game allows us to make contact with Yakuza). Besides, nothing stands in the way to spend some cash in pachinko machines or betting on horse races results (which is presented in the form of mini-games).

While doing all this, we must remember that the character we play is not a robot. So from time to time it's worth to give yourself a break and rest, because otherwise we may have to go to the hospital.

Technical aspects

The game STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator uses a retro style. Graphics, which consists mainly of various text windows and simple charts, has been realized in pixel art technique. While playing, we can listen to a catchy chiptune soundtrack.
