|desc=This software allows you to play a very strange game called Astral Stock Exchange (ASX for short). ASX is just like the real stock market, only way more fun! In this game he stars ... the shining sparks that dazzle us ... heavenly bodies ... you know, astronomical objects--are used as investment tools. Buy shares of your favorite stars and the galaxies they sit in. Prices soar with stellar formation and plummet with a nova that everyone can see.

Invest in the stars on Orion's belt (there's no galaxy there, you know). Short sell a pulsar in M31. Make a fortune on the quasar futures market, or risk astronomical sums speculating on dark matter or the debut of the cosmic background radiation.

When you join ASX you're given one thousand astro-chips to start your investment. Invest wisely and you can be be a blue-chip giant of the galaxy. Choose poorly and you'll burn out and fade away like a brown dwarf.

==When Used==
You pop in the CD and install the software.

You log in to the Astral Stock Exchange servers and create an account. They give you 1000 "ASX Chips" to start investing (you're tempted to put it all on "black hole" until you remember that's roulette), and you set up a few scripts on your computer that can play the game for you if you don't have anything better to do with the computer.

*Using the software and running it on a computer gives '''[[Betting on the Stars]] - perpetual''' as an effect.

*After gathering about 3000 ASX points, you will receive [[sunglasses]] as a free gift. 

*After gathering about 5000 ASX points, you will receive [[Binoculars]] as a free gift.
