If you want to try out your investing skills without using real money,
there are other better options like
http://simulator.investopedia.com/,
http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx and the ones listed at
http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/stockmarketgame/

These games allow you to invest pretend money in real companies. The
Yahoo! Tech Buzz game allows you to invest in technologies (not tech.
companies) so it is not really a good way to test your investing
skills. It is more to see if you can predict the next hot product or
tech.

I share your surprise. Back in the late 90s, I played with the idea of
starting a bsx.com. The more I looked into it, the more complex it
seemed and I gave up on it. Plus at the time I wasn't sure how many
people would participate (there was very limited net access in India)
and I figured that you need a pretty wide user-base to make a stock
market function. Maybe now its time to resurrect the idea.
