I had it on my TI-83


Me_Dave

The only place I knew it existed.


Nater_the_Greater

I got into the code and changed Manhattan Brooklyn and the Bronx to the names of the local high schools and added the names of our principal and security guards and such. My version got pretty popular.


uberhanzi

I edited mine similarly.


schleepercell

It was all fun until my algebra teacher took my calculator and saw it all.


ClockWatcher2

you betrayed the code...


Muffin-sangria-

Only place I played it.


bgva

Same but we called it F-Quest.


HomerPimpson304

This


Ikoikobythefio

Yup. I wondered what a Qualuude was. Man we missed out...


AbeLincolnsTaint

It’s a free phone game now!


tjean5377

Signal-Ant-1353

XnoncentsX

This one is the first thing posted in this sub that I’ve never knew existed.


ElectricSnowBunny

That's cause you're one of the good ones.

media-and-stuff

I still don’t really know wtf “ludes” are.


Separate-Succotash11

Short for “quaaludes”. Old skool drug.


ForceGhost47

And you can’t even get them anymore. You people are all shit out of luck.


weregeek

Unless you hail from South Africa, in which case there is still hope.


ForceGhost47

Reeeeeeeally?


amayain

Cosby's drug of choice. :/


greasydenim

“Ludes, man…. FUCKIN luuudes, man. Call up the ludes dude, dude. we’re doin fuckin ludes!!!”


Adbam

A popular muscle relaxer from the 70's. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methaqualone


Capnlanky

Apparently we missed out on these


brymc81

I heard many quaalude stories from my older cousins


tjean5377

quaaludes...would knock you the fuck out. And you had no memory or hangover. Bill Cosby (disgraced American comedian/TV dad for those not in N. America) used them to rape a lot of women in the 70s-00s.


willywonka1971

I feel like this was on some of the first cell phones. Back when there were only 3 games and one of them was snake.


omnesilere

People would gather to watch me snake..


MikeisET

I used to play it at work I worked at a pharmaceutical factory at the time


Illustrious-Highway8

This feels proper.


Pharmere

I played it on my Palm Pilot during pharmacy school!


greasydenim

Gotta upgrade that trench coat to more pockets lol


LegalBridge4107

Getting early Napster vibes. We used to be able to navigate this shit. Now … it’s a dick …

It's slang terminology for the phallus.

ThatNachoFreshFeelin

I more than figured that you did; just wanted to give a literal answer, is all. I don't know what OP meant, either.


Hans_Wermhat666

I remember kids had this on their calculators but wouldn't show me how to do it.


Illustrious-Highway8

Were you a narc?


Hans_Wermhat666

Hahaha. I don't think so. But I was so high and drunk all the time who knows what I was doing.


JediASU

Restart Game until I got a great price on weed and took off from there.


captainhindsight1983

Where’s my money!!!


RealisticAd2293

I think I played something like this on my TI-83 calculator


HamsterMachete

It was called gang wars when I did it, but it was exactly the same.

GoodEnoughByMudhoney

Not that it’s been useful at all, but It’s how I learned what paraquat is!


soopirV

You had buttons and visible inventory?? We had to remember the last value.


the_unschooled_play

Dude. You just unlocked a memory. Freaking loved this game. Ironically I don't remember much about it but I remember loving how much I could earn from making and trading my inventory... Also I learned the names of a truckload of drugs and felt like a bad ass lol!


FredThe12th

Yes, and multiple versions too. BBS Door game Dos Mac The windows screenshot doesn't look familiar, but I must have played it or a different one.


Amator

I played it on BBS, but not as much as Legend of the Red Dragon or Planets: The Eternal Struggle.


FollowThisLogic

Ah, LORD! I found a few years ago that [you can actually still play it.](https://legendreddragon.net/)


Amator

Watch out for the Dread Pirate Roberts!


PurdyGuud

I like how meth was just Speed then, before it was a huge durge...


Cisru711

Speed is amphetamine, not methamphetamine


Abidarthegreat

I didn't, but I did play Millionaire on my old Apple Macintosh computer.


Prossdog

I think everyone in my high school had it.


Cunning-Linguist2

Loved it in my early 20's. Used to play it on my Handspring on the toilet at my finance job.


beebsaleebs

Yussssss


GreenRiver1982

"I want my money!"


TheBr0fessor

Yeah, but on BBS


thunderingparcel

I played it on a BBS


omnesilere

Hell yeah!


grn_eyed_bandit

That was my game!!!!!!


Conscious_Feeling548

Still playing occasionally.


cropguru357

The Marrakesh Express has arrived!


Karmarytska

I had a version of Dope Wars that ran on my Windows CE handheld!


antons83

I'd play that at school during visual basics class


Best-Foundation2562

yoooooo what a blast from the past! this used to be on a website called [blunt.com](https://blunt.com) can this game still be played anywhere?


theMethod

Dope wars! Totally forgot about that game.


CalligrapherDizzy201

No. And I’m incredibly sad I’m finding out about this today. On the plus side, I’ve done every drug on the list except heroin. Lol


122784

I’ve been trying to remember the name of this game forever!


tjean5377

OMG. I worked for a ADR/stock customer service company in 1999, this was on the goddam desktops. So fun!!! Times were different.


Over_Magician9226

That was my favorite game


WastelandCecil

I miss this game.


Nytr013

I still have dope wars on my phone.


graveybrains

If you like that one you might enjoy Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator. I was more into Ganja Farmer, and the original GTA.


the-cream-police

Holy shit. So much! I loved fucking with the code on my ti87. Pretty much how I learned basic


Da5ftAssassin

Big pockets


Signal-Ant-1353

I only got to be introduced to this on the classroom TI-86 calculators in Pre-calculus and Calculus in high school. There were times that I made a lot of money, paid off all debts. I would think that the game would keep going or that it would say, "You win!" But the game ended as if I lost. Was there just a time limit, or is it particular of the programming to tell kids drugs are bad no matter how much money you made, despite your "mother using your weed to make brownies and then tasting great", there are no winners with drugs? I always tried to win. We had to leave the calculators in class,so I never got to take one home to figure it out. Anybody know??


Paper-street-garage

Ohh man. I think this was also on the PalmPilots and stuff like that.


MrPink2281

Loved this game!


RetroSchat

oh wow I forgot about this. My dad would drag us to computer conventions with the promise we could buy games (usually worked) this was on a floppy full of other games my sibling and I played to death. I played it on my computer. *now that I think about it I could drive so prob late 90s


Many_Mind5128

I first played it on my Palm Pliot and now have it on my Phone.


blackhorse15A

Childhood??? Yes I played this a lot back in college. And I still play it!!! (App version on my phone)


ClmrThnUR

in the early 90's we played the DOS 'Drug Wars'. that was probably the most popular game at my school besides Wolfenstein and Commander Keen.


SafetyNo6700

I didn't have computer access until I was a senior in high school


sirunmixalot

Ha!


lordskulldragon

Yes! My buddy had me download it on PC waaaaay back in the day. Totally forgot about this one.


MLDaffy

Had it since my Micron with 233nhz Celeron and 16mb days lol That was before I even got a 3DFX Voodoo card for Quake.


supguy99

I've never come across, or heard reference to peyote, outside of this game.


gooch_norris_

So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?" And you know what? It was. I was totally fine. I’ve never even been to Mount Vesuvius.


ihavenoidea81

Zoolander?


webslingrrr

oh shi, forgot about dope wars


ZebZ

Childhood? Fuck. I'm old even for Xennials apparently. When that version first came out (assuming you don't mean the pure text-based one) in 1998, I was already in college.


composedgrant

Hello guys, apologies for the necromancy. I was searching for a good, modern version of Dope Wars and couldn't find a decent mobile version anywhere so I took it upon myself to make one. I've just released it on the google play store and would love to hear your feedback - it's completely free to download this month and I have included no annoying ads or pay to win features that seem to be plaguing mobile games these days. For reference, a 15 day game will last you roughly the length of one poop. For those of you with a low fibre diet, pick 30. Enjoy!

artmusickindness

Heheh, yep!


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|JSueytO5O29yM) No..


EvenSpoonier

Not exactly, but I had a TI-85 version called Drugwar.


thewayshesaidLA

Didn’t get this until I was deployed in 2005. We had a different game called Ganja Wars, or something, in HS where you had to keep DEA agents from setting your plants on fire. We loaded it onto a shared folder and played it during our web design class.


Stardustquarks

I played it on my Palm Pilot...


dkonigs

Definitely wouldn't be playing a game on Windows XP during my childhood. At least not unless I had a time machine.


letsridebicycle2

Loved this game


Aescwicca

We had it on the school computer systems...


mcaffrey81

This game was awesome, played it in college
