Drug Wars is a turn-based strategy video game in which the player assumes the role of a drug dealer engaged in arbitrage. Inspired by the text-based BASIC game Star Trader, Drug Wars was written for IBM PC compatibles by John E. Dell and released in 1984.[1] The object of the game is to deal the most drugs to pay off the loan shark by the end of the game and make a profit.
- ^ Programs: Doors: Dopewars on bbsdocumentary.com "In 1984, a programmer named John E. Dell created an economic demonstration program for his high school project. This would normally have been an uninteresting event, except he chose the theme of drug trading, and the program called "Dope Wars" was born. Through the next 20 years, the program has seen many versions and remained one of the most popular BBS doors."
