Summary

Wall Street Kid (known in Japan as The Money Game II: Kabutochou no Kiseki) drops you into a high‑stakes life simulation where every decision feels like a trade on the floor of the NYSE. You start with a modest $500,000 seed fund and must double it to $1 million to unlock a six‑hundred‑billion‑dollar inheritance from the ultra‑rich Benedict family. The game’s stock market mirrors real‑world America, using slightly altered names of actual companies, so each buy‑or‑sell feels oddly familiar. Success isn’t just about numbers; you’re also judged on lifestyle choices—weekend shopping sprees, buying a house, a boat, or even spoiling the broker’s girlfriend can tip the scales. Miss a crucial purchase and the family cuts you off, ending the game abruptly, which makes every financial gamble feel personal and tense.

Storyline

Wall Street Kid puts you in the shoes of a young stockbroker trying to impress the ultra‑rich Benedict family. Starting with $500,000, you must double the amount to $1,000,000 in order to qualify for a six‑hundred‑billion‑dollar inheritance.

The game forces you to trade on the American stock market, buying and selling shares to grow your capital. Along the way you need to purchase key items—such as a house or a boat—and you can even pamper your girlfriend with luxuries. If you cannot raise enough cash for any required purchase, the Benedicts cut you off and you are disowned.
