Short description
Play Dope Wars is an independent browser trading game inspired by the Drug Wars / Dope Wars formula. Start with $2,000 and a $5,000 debt, compare prices across six New York districts, and manage risk through a 30-day Classic run. Classic is free and requires no account or download.
What makes this edition distinct
- Retro pixel art and a CRT-style interface on desktop and mobile.
- Automatic saves in the current browser, plus optional nickname posting for completed Classic runs.
- A strategy guide with the exact rules, price ranges and a reproducible engine-run example.
- An optional $7.99 USD Pro upgrade with longer campaigns, labs, assets, weapons and international destinations.
This is an independent remake, not an official release by the authors of the historical calculator, Palm or desktop editions. See the edition history and sources.
