176016 2003-09-17 13:29:00 When I first got the internet in the late 90's xtra(I think) either offered or linked to a virtual stock market game which gave you an imaginary amount of money to invest, the people with the most money at the end of a round would win prizes...

Does anyone else remember this game/site, if so does anyone know if it is still going and if so what the web address is?

I did a search but only found dead links to international equivilants and/or online casinos... I'm pretty sure this was a New Zealand game...

Thanks for any help...

The version I played was actually a free game, looks like this version requires a registration fee...

Thanks for your help though.

176019 2003-09-17 20:46:00 I remember it too - was done via Xtra Business website, but they closed it off just before I finished my week, and I doubt it's come back. But that's a place to start looking. I remember at the time I invested quite heavily in Telecom and lost a packet (dropped from about $7 to around $5 in 5 days!), but fortunately made up for it with some other stocks that skyrocketed Greg S (201)
