The good news - you have $2,000 in cash, and licenses to legally trade. The bad? You owe $5,500 to Dishonest Harry, a not-too-friendly loan shark, interest is piling up, he'll be visiting you soon for his money, and he owns a chainsaw! Just sayin'. You only have one choice - dive into the world of wholesale trading of weed to make money fast and save your skin!
As you travel from location to location, a day passes and local prices change. Buy low, sell higher! But beware - Officer Hardass is looking out for you, so get prepared for a stand-off with the cops by visiting the Dope Wars Store to tool up for the inevitable confrontation! You can also buy more storage space along the way at the Store, so look out for sales and special offers.
Along the way, special market events will cause prices to rise or fall spectacularly, so be ready for these, this is how you get rich! There are muggers out there, so try to keep unused cash in the bank, earning interest. Other loan sharks can lend you money to solve short-term liquidity crunches, but they'll be after their money soon enough! If you get injured, pop in to see the local doctor at his surgery, but look out - he has no scruples, and you have kidneys. A bad combination.
Listen out for the crazy old lady, too. She sure has some wacky things to say, but occasionally, she'll give you a very handy tip off, which is essential to your financial success in Dope Wars. Also, keep an eye out (and cash on hand) for the chance to buy a larger coat. More space, more profit! Good luck my friend, you're sure going to need it!!
If your final score is good enough, you can submit it to the Game Center Leaderboards and see how well you fare against your friends, or the whole planet!

I have been playing versions of this game for years, before Smart Phones we’re offering the experience, so I may just be too used to looking at the Linux version, but I find the navigation to be a bit difficult, on an iphone. It is still a fantastic strategy game, though, and highly addictive, providing great entertainment. A web based port of the PC classic would be amazing. Lots of fun, regardless.

Awesome game but I have a request

There needs to be a harder level than medium where the prices don’t change but there’s more police chases and mugging. It’s not fun for me to figure out the prices all over again each time. Thank you!
Classic

Another reviewer mentioned “Palm Pilot” classic... well I’m going to show my age here and say that this classic goes back much, much further than Palm - to the days of MS-DOS. With no shortage of customization, this game is great for nostalgia, but also an excellent, fast paced competition between friends. There’re no super high res graphics or sound marvels to be found. Indeed, the game maintains the charm of the original, but is still packed full of new features. I find this game (again) really suits my need for touch screen gaming satisfaction.
Not the same anymore

I’ve played this game for over 25 years. I was so happy when I found it for my tablet over three years ago. I loved it haven’t played it, it wasn’t exactly the same as on PC but super close. I did an update and now it’s all just weed. I shouldn’t have to take the time to edit the products!! if you wanted one for just weed you should’ve made a new app. I like the way it was before, will be removing from my tablet.
