TIM.DEHRING  Bought this game at $5 and don't regret. Shame that Apple (probably) wouldn't allow this on the iPhone due to the content.

SMOKE BREAK  No serious bugs so far in the latest download. Good time waster and minimum energy required to play when wasted! Just use the mouse! Works perfectly for me with 10.3.7.

ANONYMOUS  .

I used to play this game on my Palm. It's even better on the Mac..but WAY too many bugs.

You would have to be on dope to pay for this buggy software.

Fix it, and I'll buy it.

ANDREW  Clearly, you didn't actually download this version of DopeWars. It is quite a bit more extensive than the linux version, which for the average would probably be difficult to install anyway. If you don't want to buy the software fine, but don't knock it (publicly) until you've tried it.

ANONYMOUS  Clearly, I did. And if your attitude is anything to go by, I don't think I'll be buying any freeware from you.

ANDREW  Sorry I replied assuming that you hadn't downloaded the software. It has been my experience in the past that people just assume it is exactly the same game and I am trying to charge for it, but they don't even download my version. You are entitled to your opinion, of course.

KNK  This game is great. $5 is nothing for this game. It's well worth it. It's cheaper then Geek Pahse version of the Oringal DOS game. This game is very addicting ... addiciting like drugs!

ANONYMOUS  Wow. First off, people giving this a low rating because they are anti-drug need to realize this game has been around for EVER. Even before graphical interfaces in the land of MSDOS. It's even ported to the Texas Instrument graphing calculator series. So ragging on the developer who worked hard to port (recreate?) what used to be a somewhat popular game that has been ported to almost every system need to cool their jets, and possibly find a time machine so they can go back 20 years to when the first version of this game was made. Oh hey, I found an article on this:

http://www.mobenta.com/articles/dopewars121001.php

Over half of Americans have taken illegal drugs at some point in their life. Modding a good port of a classic game because of it's content is silly and juvenile. If you find it glitchy, hard to use, or slow, then rate it as such.

ANDREQ  Hello, this is the developer. If you are going to review this product please keep in mind that the criteria for review are: Features, Playability, Graphics & Sound, Stability. Notice that Morals are not included in those categories. Therefore you cannot rate it badly based on your Morals.

You are welcome to comment *without* a rating if you want to try and impose your morals on others. Before you do that, however, please try to lighten up and realize that the game is a joke. It could not possibly encourage drug use, because if you actually played it you would realize that it is more humorous than realistic and at no time does the game promote the buying or selling of drugs in the real world.

ANONYMOUS  This is a good game, but there are still some glitches in the new version - especially when dealing with the loan shark. I was hoping this would be fixed in the new version.
