Matsumoto Tooru no Kabushiki Hisshou Gaku 2 is a stock-trading simulation game released for the NES by Imagineer in 1989. Serving as a sequel themed around the Japanese financial world, it features the real-life financial advisor Toru Matsumoto. Instead of traditional action, players manage investments and monitor market trends to grow their wealth, balancing stock trading with a unique life-simulation aspect that includes managing a family.
How to Play
The objective is to turn a starting capital of 4 million yen into 7 billion yen within a simulated two-year period. Navigate the menus and make trading decisions using the standard NES controls, mapped in the browser to your keyboard: use the arrow keys to move between options, Z and X for the A and B buttons to confirm or cancel selections, and Enter or Shift for Start and Select. Monitor stock trends closely and invest strategically as the market shifts.
Tips
- Save gracefully to avoid penalties: The game features a strict anti-cheat system. If you reset without following the proper in-game “quit” procedure to save, it will penalize you by halving your current funds.
- Balance life and business: Pay attention to the life-simulation elements, as personal choices regarding your family can impact your overall progress in unexpected ways.
