Great Wall Street Fortune Hunt

Great Wall Street Fortune Hunt is a 1982 strategy simulator from Philips that models the changing opportunities of the investment world. It is available for Magnavox Odyssey 2, also known as Odyssey 2 / Videopac G7000.

Market Strategy

Players buy and sell investments representing a range of industries and risk levels, from conservative blue-chip companies such as IBM to high-risk choices such as Wildcat Oil Western. Other examples include McDonald’s and Texas Instruments, while some investments represent broader petroleum or industry groups.

Each investment reacts differently to news flashes shown during play. These sensitivities are displayed on the gameboard, requiring players to anticipate market fluctuations and act on changing buying and selling opportunities.

Gameplay Levels

The game includes four levels of play, allowing players to become comfortable with one level before adding the next layer of challenge.
