GAME DESCRIPTION
Moneywise is an exciting, fast-paced introduction to the investment world. As you try to build your fortune, you will be faced with a wide range of investment options -- some relatively safe, others risky but potentially more rewarding. Whatever investments you choose will be affected, favorably or unfavorably, by the economic climate -- which rarely remains stable for long. To be successful, you'll need a combination of good judgment and good luck, as you try to make the most of your investment opportunities through changing economic times.
