Play Bulls and Bears Online

Bulls and Bears was part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, though it didn't carry a specific release number like some others. I don't recall the developer offhand, but it fit right in with the era's business and simulation titles, the kind of thing you'd find on a shareware disk or bundled with other simple programs. It wasn't trying to be flashy; it was just there, a straightforward stock market game for a platform full of text adventures and early strategy.

You play as a stock trader starting with a set amount of capital, making buy and sell decisions based on a scrolling ticker tape of company names and fluctuating prices. The main objective is straightforward: grow your initial investment as much as possible within a set number of trading days. Key mechanics include monitoring multiple stocks at once, timing your purchases to buy low, and then selling high before an unexpected market dip wipes out your gains. The pacing is tense; prices change quickly, and a few bad calls can ruin your portfolio. It feels like a constant race against your own greed and the market's unpredictability.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
