Dope Wars is the best little game to play when you're just kicking it and doing other things on the computer (so much better than solitaire)! I love this game.

Unhappy Where are you renots?

Well this is a disappointment. I thought for sure renots would post one of his essays here after seeing the topic of Dope Wars.

Got to say I love that game. Just make sure you register it....makes the game a lot funnier. You guys part of a cartel yet? If we get enough people playing we can start a GotApex Cartel.

Cool i'm a dealer! woohoo!

my high score is only 47 million, and that is on the 30 day game. My next highest score, which I got right after i put up my first post about drug wars (earlier this afternoon) is 24 million. This game is so so beautiful...
ProMinx
ps - can anyone beat 47 million on the 30 day game (from this forum, that is...)

what extra benefits does registering give you? are the only new options cartels (and what do you do with those?) and varying the game length?

By registering you can play 15, 30, 60, or 90 days game. It also shows if the price of the drugs went up, down, or stayed the same from the previous day. You can also pull up a price chart. You can also buy bigger weapsons (Uzi-9mm, Bazooka). I think it makes the game a lot more fun, because of the number of days you can play. If you want it registered and don't want to pay the cheap $6.95 just email me at nicemann@home.com and I can get you a code.

i just downloaded the most recent patch and got the key from NiceMann, and it's pretty cool (although i've only played like half of a game since the upgrade...). Oh well.

Nice(Wo)Mann (or whatever...) is also very not-so-suckage. Thanks again.

I remember back in high school, some kids had Dope Wars programmed into their TI-82. Something was lacking in that version, maybe speed.

Smile i thought the TI game was adequate...

hey jerk (j/k), i was one of the guys who helped to transfer that program onto the TI-82 programming language. I still think it was one of the best games we ever moved over to the TI "operating system". My copy ran well enough...

Cool NEW HIGH SCORE!!!

i did it! i didn't think i could do it, but i just did it, and it was only like the third game i've played all the way through! My new high score is $57,155,655! Woohoo!!! That's it, if we make a cartel...I'm running this MFer! My new goal is 100 million. Who wants to come on a run to columbia with me?

ProMinx

ps - I'm pathetic...what can i say?

pss - NiceMann, do you remember what i said about using this game to choose which girl to puruse? This most recent score was with the same girl's name yet again (and i have been switching it around occasionally).

damn it; i was on my way to a new high score (21 million dollars by the 21st day, and then i bought 10o units of cocaine at $16,765 on like the 24th day, and none of the next places i visited had cocaine to buy or sell...so i ended the game still carrying 100 units of cocaine with 31 million dollar in the bank! If not for those 5-6 days of no trading, i could have probably made at least 47 million again...damn!

Cool "Addicts are buying Coke at outrageous prices"

hooked? right through the freaking cheek...and there's nothing i could do to escape (although i've only played 4 games since i've updated, so i guess i'm not that bad...i'm just a pro at dealing...i guess it comes from all of my Got|Apex? experience...)

i just got $122,272,256 in a 60 day game (my first 60 day game...), and i don't want to see dope wars fading away into ambiguity, so i thought i would resurface this thread (although it was only like 7 or 8 down the list...)

i used to sit down at my computer, start up a few movie downloads, start up realjukebox, and then settle in for a nice long game of AOE2, but recently I have replaced AOE2 with Dope Wars, even though I've only played it like a dozen times since I downloaded it. It seems like I've been playing it so much more for some reason.

Hey <B>Nicemann</B> get off your butt and give me the password to the cartel. I feel all lonely looking at my pitiful scores.

There isn't anyone in the cartel. I was going to set it up, but I guess there isn't enough people interested in the game. Speed did you ever get a key to unlock the software?

Well you only need one....but heck thats no fun.

Cartals are just for groups of people to compare scores. Its not like crackwars.com where you fight other places. Nice thing to setup so that you can see if people really hit $122,272,256 or not. (j/k)
