![]() However, in order to make the most amount of money, the player must take advantage of great fluctuations in the market. A skilled player must know the standard price of all drugs and must realize when a drug is cheap and when it is expensive. As the game progresses however, the player can buy the more expensive drugs with a high profit margin such as cocaine and heroin. The basic strategy of Drugwars is to buy a drug in one location at one price, and then travel to another location to sell it for a higher price.Īt the beginning of the game, the player does not have much money and must deal with the cheapest drugs such as ludes and speed because that is all the player can afford. If a player reaches $50,000,000, the maximum score of 100/100 will be attained and the player will have beaten the game. For example, a player who finishes with $25,000,000 will have a final score of 50/100. The number of millions of dollars a player has is his/her score out of a 100. The final score is calculated by taking the players current amount of cash and multiplying it by two. Random occurrences also occur during the game such as muggings, drug sales, increased drug prices, and the finding of drugs.Īfter 30 days, the game ends. ![]() If the player can kill Hardass and his deputies, a cash award will be earned. In order to fight the police, the player must have a gun. Any choice risks injury to the player and after 10 shots the player dies and thus loses the game. ![]() The player has four choices: to get arrested, to run, to fight, or to keep dealing. During the game, Hardass will randomly confront the player. Other components include the police who are embodied in the character of Officer Hardass. In each part of the city, the player checks the prices, buys and sells drugs, and then travels to another part of the city. During the course of the game, the player can buy a gun or extra pocket space by randomly being offered those things during travel. A player must deal with loan sharks who are useful because they provide the much needed initial capital investment, but charge a high interest rate and must be paid back quickly or the player loses the game. The player begins with $2,000, 100 spaces in his/her trenchcoat, and no weapons. The point of the game is to make the most amount of money in the given time of 30 days. Traveling from one part of the city to another takes one day. The player also buys and sells various drugs such as Cocaine, Heroin, Acid, Weed, Speed, and Ludes. The player travels around the various parts such as Manhattan, The Bronx, Coney Island, and Brooklyn. The premise of the game is that the player is a drug dealer living in New York City.
