Drug Wars (Dope Wars Clone) For BB10 and PlayBook

Attachment 147161

Some of us remember playing this game on the old Palm Pilots. I was feeling nostalgic a little over a month ago, and so I decided I'd make it.
It took me a couple days, but the entire game was coded from scratch in JavaScript and styled with bbUI.
There's not really much to say as far as gameplay goes. Drug Wars is a text based game of buying and selling. Buy drugs when prices are low, sell them when prices are high.
Buy gear to carry more drugs, buy weapons to protect yourself against rival gangs. After 30 days the game ends, and you can share your stats to BBM, Twitter, or Facebook. You can keep playing past 30 days (but can't share your score), or you can start a new game.

So if you're feeling nostalgic, IMO Drug Wars is definitely worth the $1.

Compatibility: PlayBook, Z10, Q10 (not tested on device yet for the Q10, just in simulator).

Prob a Palm Vx. I also played the Sh!t out of it on my old Palm devices; it's what I did before I got me a 6750. :-P

Yup, on my Palm Vx.

My first game I ever programmed was a form of Dope Wars written in C++ when I was in high school

+1 for the relevant username.

Submitted an update that fixes a few bugs and adds a checkbox to auto populate the purchase box with the maximim number you can purchase. If anyone finds any other bugs let me know!

Lived this on my Palm and downloaded it for my z10 (hubby played it OB his palm too).

I have a bunch of improvements I would love to see but noticed I can't leave a review :(

Guess I can post here and hope...

I would like to see
- what day you are on
- what your health level is at
- instead of choosing the drug from the drop down menu what about tapping it in the drug list?

Such a fun time waster...I known for sure that if it gets updated Hubby's going to buy too lol.

Your health and the day are in a table below the drug list.
As for the last suggestion, good idea! I can make it so tapping the drug will change the dropdown menu to that drug :) I don't think I'll do away with the dropdown entirely because I don't want to confuse people though.

thanks... lol didn't think to scroll down!!

Game just got better LOL

Could you also make the pop up message stay longer or have a button to click after you read them? I bread quickly but still can't read these!

Will do that this coming week after I finish moving :) need to fix two small bugs to get BFB approval too.

Thanks for the app, brings back a lot of fond memories.

same here, still got it ...

Due to a request, I made a separate version of Drug Wars called Digi Wars for anyone who wants a more "PG" version of the game. I personally prefer Drug Wars, but if you would rather buy/sell electronics, I'll add a link to Digi Wars when it is released.

I'd like to point out that this game is perfect for the upcoming Superbowl :D
