This game is
inspired by an old DOS game called Dopewars, which I spent many an hour playing back in
the old days. I loved playing the game, but there were many things in the game that I
thought could have been improved upon. I wanted to write my own updated windows
version, adding more features and changing certain functions of the game I thought could
have been done better. It's still a simple, turn-based, single screen, luck of the
numbers game, but it's based on the classic gameplay of games made before the introduction
of a processor that ran faster than 10mhz! This game is not perfect, it still has a few quirks here and there. It's been a weekend project, and I don't have much time to spend. I'm a network support analyst with a family and a life, which doesn't leave much time for little side projects like this...updates may be few and far between. It's written in Visual Basic 4, and I am admittedly a beginner in programming. Let me configure a router, not program a game! Anyway, after months of working on it every once in a while, I'm creating a web site dedicated to it. I will make the source available to anyone who's interested in it, just email me at drugwarz@yahoo.com, and I'll email you back with everything I have. Maybe there is someone else out there who shares my nostalgia for the old game. If enough people show interest, I'll post the source on this page. One obvious difference that fans of the old game will see is the locations. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri, and have never been to New York. I had no interest in leaving the locations as the Bronx, Coney Island, etc., since I've never been there. So, all the locations are suburbs of St. Louis. If you want it to be true to the original, email me for the source and recompile it yourself! I ask nothing in return for the source, other an a copy of any updated code that you write, or any changes that you make. I'll post user updates on this page as well. Thanks All, and enjoy! ---Steve Here's a screenshot of DrugWarz version 1.10:
