There are small little sound effects here and there, but nothing to enhance the gameplay. Along the way from part to part, you can purchase handguns (to deal with pesky cops) and larger trenchcoats.ĭope Wars is menu based with no graphics. With the default trenchcoat you can hold a quantity of 100 drugs. You venture from part to part of each city, looking for places to buy drugs for low prices and sell at high prices. You start out from one of the five cities with 1,000 cash on hand and 5,000 in debt. Name any exotic drug and you can find it in Drug Wars. They range from the cheap ectasy to the medium range acid to the highly expensive (and big money maker) cocaine. If you haven't gotten my drift, in Dope Wars, you trade various forms of illegal drugs. However, you're not trading stocks in this game.
#Dopewars old games update
It's an update of the old skool games Druglord and Drug Wars. In Dope Wars, you still follow the age old adage of ''buy low and sell high''. *wink wink nudge nudge*"ĭope Wars is a unique stock-market type game, to say the least. In either case you can loot the body and pick up any guns or drugs which the bitch or player was carrying."Dope Wars is a unique stock-market type game, to say the least. If you kill an enemy bitch, you are awarded a bounty from the cops for killing such a dangerous criminal if you kill an enemy player (after you've killed all of their bitches) you receive their total assets - their cash and bank balance minus any debt. Be aware that if you fail to shoot back at your enemy within five seconds, they can fire at you again (otherwise, shots alternate between you and your enemy). When in a fight with another player, you can choose not to fire back with the "S" key, you can shoot back with the "F" key, or you can run from the fight with the "R" key. You can switch back from this screen to the drug price screen with the "D" key, but note that the "Jet" command is now missing from the drug price screen - you must instead use the "F" key to return to the fight, and conclude it before continuing on your way. When you attack another player, or another player attacks you, the main screen which normally lists drug prices at the current location is replaced by the fighting screen. You can either ignore them completely (with the "E" key) in which case they will never know you were there, or you can attack them with the "A" key. If, in the course of normal play, you are carrying one or more guns, and you jet to the a location where another player already is, you will be informed of their presence. Unfortunately, there is a chance that your spy may be discovered by your opponent later on. If your enemy accepts the bitch, you will then be able to see everything about the enemy whenever you like, by pressing the "C" key from the main drug prices screen. A spy, on the other hand, will present himself to the enemy as a bargain bitch (in the same way as normal "bargain bitches" appear). In any case, if you lose a bitch you may also lose any drugs or guns which they were carrying (remember that each bitch can carry one gun, and increases your inventory - your available space - by 10).Ī tip-off means that Officer Hardass or Bob will attack your chosen enemy when they jet to their next location (and then you will get to hear the result of the encounter). With this you can sack one of your bitches (with the "G" key again), pay one to tip off the cops to one of the other players, or pay one to leave your employment and to join another player and spy on them for you. The "G" key activates the "give errand" command. This will either list the other players in the game, or the list of high scores maintained by the server which you're connected to.
These messages will appear in the Messages window also.Īnother new command in multiplayer mode is the list command ("L" key).
To send a private message, use the "P" key and select the player instead. When in multiplayer mode, you can send a message to all current players by pressing the "T" key from the main drug prices screen, and then typing in your message. Other players which join or leave the game once you are playing will announce their presence to you automatically via the "Messages" window. When joining a game which already contains other players, they will be listed to you. If you log on to a dopewars server, there is the possibility of meeting other players, either human or computer-controlled. Quote Multiplayer: interacting with other players
