1.0 Overview
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
STAR STOCKS is a game of galactic investment. The game's object is
to amass as much money as you can by establishing extensive companies
and managing your stock portfolio.
In each turn you will be shown 6 positions
on the map which may be developed. After choosing one of these, you
may buy and/or sell stock.
On the map, you will see:
* - Stars
. - empty space
+ - Outpost (Company Placeholder)
1 thru 6 - positions that may be developed
A thru ? - Companies (number of companies varies with difficulty)
2.0 Play Game
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
Select this option when you are ready to begin a game.
2.1 Stars
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
When a company or an outpost company touches a star its value
increases by $500/share.
. . .
. * .
. . .
2.2 Outposts
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Outposts are created by choosing a number that does not touch
anything. When a company touches an outpost its value increases
by $100/share.
. . . . . . . .
. . 5 . => . . + . The '+' signifies an outpost.
. . . . . . . .
2.3 Companies
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Companies are created by developing next to an outpost or a star.
. . . . . . . . In this example company 'A' has been
. 5 + . => . A A . formed. The value is $200/share. $100
. . . . . . . . for each 'A' (not touching any stars).
. . . . . . . . In this example company 'B' has been
. 3 * . => . B * . formed. Its value is $600/share. $100
. . . . . . . . for the 'B' plus $500 for the star.
2.3.1 Merging Companies
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
When you develop between two or more companies, where they
touch, they merge. It's considered that the company of
lesser value is being bought out by the larger company.
At the time of the merge, a cash bonus is awarded that is
equivalent to 10*$/share of the company being taken over.
. . . . . Choosing #5 would merge companies 'A' & 'B'. If you
. A A 5 . had 10 shares of each company, 'B' would be the strong
. . . B . company and win out over company 'A'.
. . . * .
. . . . . In this case company 'B' won out over 'A'. Now company
. B B B . 'B' stock is increased in value by that of 'A' plus
. . . B . company 'B' gets 50% of 'A's stock added to its stock.
. . . * . Also, you would get a bonus of $2000 for the merge.
2.3.2 Splitting Companies
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
A company splits when its $/share exceeds $3000. At
this time the stock price halves and its shares double.
2.4 Dividends
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
After you choose what position to develop, and the effects hit
all companies involved, you will receive dividends equivalent to
5% of your holdings, and be prompted to purchase stock.
2.5 Purchasing
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
If you have enough money after making your move, you will be prompted
to purchase some stock. There are two modes of purchasing.
2.5.1 Expert
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
In this mode, each company will be listed in alphabetical
order and you will be asked how many shares you want to purchase.
You can either:
- press enter (if you don't want any shares in that company)
- type a number within the range listed next to the company
- or, type 'M' for the maximum number of shares that you can
buy in that company.
2.5.2 Standard
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
If you choose expert mode, by selecting 'X' when you are
choosing which position to develop, you will be prompted to
enter the company letter that you want to spend all of your
money on. If you have any money left over, stock selection will
revert to standard mode. If you type an 'X' at the prompt,
stock selection will revert to standard mode. If you find that
you are buying stock in a particular company, this mode tends
to be faster than the standard mode.
3.0 Instructions
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
3.1 New Screen
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[N] - New Game. A quick way of quitting the game and restarting
a new one. This is used when you don't like the original map and
would like the computer to generate a new one for you. Doing a
New Screen anytime before your 10th move will not register as
a game being played. Therefore you can be choosy as to the screen
you want without the game thinking you have played tons of games.
3.2 Instructions
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[I] - What you're reading right now! You can either view them or
download them directly from within Star Market.
3.3 Quit
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[Q] - Quit. If you have a really bad game going, you might just
want to "Take a walk in space without a suit."
3.4 Redraw Screen
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[R] - Redraw. If your screen gets scrambled due to line noise, use
this to redraw the screen.
3.6 Abandon Company
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[A] - Abandon. Only works when you're at the company (grid) selection
prompt. This option lets you sell off your holdings of particular
companies. Beware, the stock broker gets his 20% cut from every
transaction.
3.7 View Summary
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[V] - Shows your stock portfolio, which includes the number
of shares of each company you own, the value per share, total
value of each company, your total networth, and the number of
times each company has split.
3.8 Xpert
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
[X] - Expert mode. This toggles from the Standard mode to the
Expert mode. See EXPERT (2.5.2) under PURCHASING for more
details on this toggle and its benefits.
