For something aimed at high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate students check out Industry Player.

For some informational but fun videos on financial topics, check out CommonCraft.

JA Titan is a business simulation for high school students. During game play, students must run a manufacturing company and master six key business decisions: price of product, production levels, marketing expenses, research and development costs, capital investment level, and charitable giving. (The game is now under the watchful eye of Junior Achievement.)

If you happen to be French or speak French, you can try your hand at balancing France's budget at Cyber-Budget.

Better Business Choices let's you choose from a number of business paradigms and then make choices and see how they impact the organization.

And check out a business tool of the future with ProtoSphere (by Protonmedia)
