Hi,
I was looking into this a few years ago. If I remember correctly, I think
the term "simulated trading" or "trading simulator" returned the best
results in Google. Here is a link to a list of online trading games:

If you are looking for a broker that allows paper trading, I know that
Scottrade's ScottraderElite platform allows you to log into either your real
or virtual account at startup. Not sure about the basic version. I seem to
remember that CyberTrader also offers some kind of trading simulator. Good
luck!
