About this game
In Market Mogul you take the role of Beryl Flinch, company clerk of MegaCorp, headed by the dying president Ebenezer Grimsby, with a job of attempting to save the corporation from a takeover attempt by the executive vice president, Riggs Greedman, Grimsby's rival.
From a hidden room filled with direct stock exchange terminals and brokerage house hotlines, and only a starting amount of $25,000, it is your goal to stop Greedman's plans of holding a controlling interest in MegaCorp's 10 subsidiaries, and prevent him from becoming Chairman of the Board.

This turn-based text game displays a list of the different stocks and commodities, along with the current market price, the last change in price, number of shares held, market value of those shares, and total outstanding loans on that stock.
Each cycle, players have the choice of buying and selling your chosen amounts of each stock ('OilCo', 'PowerCo', 'FoodCo', 'ChemCo', etc) and commodities (Wheat, Coffee, Beef, and Gold), along with the option of borrowing against them, where the limit is based on the player's net worth.
After the player is finished setting up their buys/sells and confirming to proceed to the next cycle, the market will update and show the change in each item, along with giving an option to see a trending bar chart of the last 20 market prices for a stock.
Occasionally, there will be 'World event' or market trend that a stock ticker displays (for example: "CABLECO LOSE $5M COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SUIT", or "CHEMCO DEVELOPS STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC AS STEEL SUBSTITUTE"), and which majorly affects the trend of a specific stock, while some other related stocks may also be slightly affected.
Rarely there will also be hints and leaks about upcoming future market trends, true or not.
Once the player holds 1,000 shares of each company, and has a net worth of at least $100,000 for 3 consecutive market updates, the player becomes president of that subsidiary, and starts receiving a 2% salary each cycle for s
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Mogul Maniac for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mogul Maniac to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1983.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mogul Maniac, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Atari 2600 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
