Description
Dope Wars 2.0 for Windows, the politically incorrect but hugely popular drug dealing game from Beermat Software, is the underground's answer to minesweeper — quick to install, easy to play, and tailor-made for workday lulls and quick breaks.
This low tech but high fun game casts you as a debt ridden drug dealer - $2000 in your pocket, but $5500 in debt to a Loan Shark. The only way to get out of this debt trap is to make money by buying the available drugs and then moving to a new location and hoping the price moves up, or is driven up by market demands. Along the way, you'll encounter various hazzards in your filthy trade such as cops, muggers, loan sharks needing repaying, etc.

Trivia
Dopewar takes its inspiration from an ancient PC game named Taipan, where you play a trader in the ancient China Seas, trading resources from the mundane (silk) to illegal (opium), while surviving pirates, thieves, and the rackteers that demand protection money. I've played versions of Taipan as far back as the TRS-80 era (early 1980's).
