This non-threatening version of reality allows players in the game to see what happens if they take risks in investments that they would in other circumstances (ie: dealing with their own money) not try for fear of the consequences.
With the stock instructional games, players can learn to invest in stock by following a pattern or by taking risks and are able to see what the actual consequences are. The rules and objective in the games allow the first time or novice investor to understand a structure and plan and gives them guidelines in which to work.
The online element allows an ease of use not available in the paper versions of investment games, since a computer aided game that helps people learn to invest in stocks can automatically follow the selected stocks in which the investor has placed his or her money, and can automatically figure profits and losses, etc.
Sales of stock are also easily calculated and recorded. The computer also does all record keeping and profit or loss tracking. While this may diminish the experience of the user, it also makes the games more realistic and reasonable to play
