The first training program was followed by Wall Street Trader, which was named "best educational software" by the European Commission, among others, for its accurate simulation of international stock market conditions, and is one of the most successful games in this genre.[2] Next, the company developed Start Up 2000, which allows players to realistically start and run their own business.[3]
