Drug Wars Game
📅 1984 ✍️ John E. Dell 🎮 Simulation

Ah, Drug Wars—the gritty, no-frills MS-DOS classic that turned spreadsheets into high-stakes drama! Imagine a text-based underworld where you play as a street-smart dealer buying low, selling high, and dodging cops while climbing the criminal ladder. No flashy graphics, just pure adrenaline as you hustle across cities, gamble your profits, and pray the next deal doesn’t land you in jail (or worse). It’s like Monopoly meets Scarface, with a dose of ’80s hacker nostalgia that makes it weirdly addictive.
What makes Drug Wars stand out? Its brutal simplicity. One wrong move, and you’re bankrupt—or busted. Yet, that risk-reward tension hooks you fast. Whether you’re reminiscing about late-night keyboard binges or discovering it for the first time, this game is a raw, unfiltered slice of gaming history. Just don’t blame us if you start calculating real-life opportunities… hypothetically, of course.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
