Wall Street Raider, stylized as Wall $treet Raider, is a business simulation game published for MS-DOS in 1986 by Intracorp. A Windows conversion was released in 2001.
Gameplay
Wall $treet Raider is a game in which players use the stock market to take over companies.[1] Up to four players can play and divide a billion dollars between them.[2]
Release
Intracorp included a coupon for a free rental of the 1987 film Wall Street with every purchase of the game.[2]
Reception
John Harrington reviewed Wall $treet Raider and Wall Street Wizard for Games International magazine, and gave it a rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "Raider is a little dry as a solo game; you start the game with a considerable fortune and the temptation is to say '$250 000 is enough for any man, I'll emigrate to the Bahamas'.."[1]
Daniel Carr for Computer Play called it "a BIG game" and "corporate warfare at its best".[3]
Legacy
In 2025, the game is being remastered by developer Ben Ward with a modern graphical interface, while preserving its original simulation engine and complexity, under Jenkins’ direct collaboration. As of February 2026, the original version of Wall $treet Raider is not currently available for purchase due to the bankruptcy of its former e-commerce platform.[4], and early access to the modernized version was delayed as of March 10, 2026.[5] The game was released in early access on Steam on May 14, 2026.[6]
