STOKMARK - ATF Game


STOKMARK on the BBC Micro

This is a game for between one and eight players, each of whom tries to make as large a profit as possible by buying and selling shares on the stock exchange

We used to play this at home in 1990-93 on the BBC Micro which my uncle had bought for us.

This game, released in 1984 has had a great influence on me and my investment style & love for the world of markets, it still continues to thrill and amaze me.

I still have this Micro computer lying in my house, I don't think its alive any more, will try to revive it like Lazarus.

If you are a BBC Micro/ Spectrum fan then you should download the emulator and relive and play the classic games of the 80's
