I had my fill of economics-based video games with "Wall street kid", the terrible, boring cousin to "Casino Kid", for the NES.

Yeah, it seems like on the surface it's a cool sci-fi themed MMO, but upon closer inspection it looks more like just a big simulated economy with space ships and pretty graphics.

I saw all I needed to know when I popped open the trade interface to sell the ore I mined in the tutorial, and with just a few clicks stumbled upon fully functional securities tracking charts!
