Dope Wars 1987

Play this game and quickly you will learn street economics. You might have flunked out of junior high, but that doesn’t mean life’s over. This game will teach you how to survive. Get smarter as you play. This is one of the simpler drug wars, Dopewars style games, but it’s actually more addicting than the others cause it’s it’s simple clean, fast and you can get a game just minutes.

I play a lot of idle, simulator-like games such as this one and can say that this particular game is fun despite its super simple mechanics. It definitely has a lot of potential to grow into a more complex game assuming that is what the creator intended. Something I can say though is I wish there was a mechanic or indicator for chance of death when making certain deals: buying/selling instead of doing an action like fighting back and just dying; restating your progress. More locations and products would be immersive in my opinion, adding more to gameplay experience. All in all, 5/5 regardless of its early launch. Can’t wait to see more in the future.

Very fun & cheeky game that doesn’t harvest your data or have annoying ads. Great to play while on the bus/train/plane or in a waiting room. Love that all of the images were hand-drawn by the developer too. Currently trying to beat my high score every day.
