I am looking for information about on-line business games - like do they exist 
and if so how do I get more information about what's available?

The kind of thing I have in mind is normally seen as a paper-based simulation 
of a business marketplace where the participants pretend to be a company making 
decisions on product pricing, marketing expenditure, production levels, 
storage, etc. If they make good decisions then their market share and 
profitability grows relative to the other players. That's the paper-based 
version - how about an on-line version run from a BBS?

If you know of anything that's out there please drop me an email.
