Play Bulls and Bears Online

Game Overview

Ever wanted to play Gordon Gekko but with way worse graphics? Bulls and Bears on MS-DOS is basically Monopoly on adrenaline—except instead of fake money, you get to lose pretend fortunes in glorious 16-color pixel art. The first time I booted it up, I blew my entire virtual savings on some sketchy oil stock that immediately tanked. Classic.

What’s wild is how tense it gets despite the chunky interface. You’re frantically clicking through stock tickers while this tiny pixel broker judges your terrible decisions. Sometimes the market randomly crashes just to ruin your day, and suddenly you’re sweating over whether to sell your failing railroad shares or ride it out like a stubborn idiot. There’s something weirdly satisfying about making a comeback after your portfolio looks deader than disco.

No tutorials, no hand-holding—just you, some questionable 80s financial logic, and the constant fear that the bear market is coming for your digital wallet. If you’ve got a DOS emulator and a masochistic streak, this one’s oddly hard to quit.

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