This was originally a game for
DOS, but
Beermat Software has taken it and updated it with some new features, such as multiple
cities (in DOS, you could only travel around the boroughs of
New York), different
weapons, a
drug list that is updated to the
late 90s instead of the
early 90s (add
ecstasy and
Special K, get rid of
Ludes), multiple
loan sharks with different
interest rates and pay periods, and a
little old lady who sometimes gives you tips on when a
bust is about to go down.
Basically, it's a day trading game, except with drugs. I tried out Beermat's shareware version, but after about the fifth play, I kept getting a weird error: 'H is not a valid integer' when I finished the game, and my high scores weren't shown. I'll wait for their next release, but if you want it, you can get it off of www.dopewars.com.
The DOS version has also been ported to the Palm OS and is a good thing to play during meetings. The actual URL escapes me, but you can find it by going to CNet downloads, and doing a search on 'dope wars' for Palm OS. You can also get the source code from the same spot.
