Computer Game Simulates Drug Dealing   PDF  Print  Email 

Dope Wars, a new game available for download from the Internet, enables users to buy and sell drugs in virtual reality. Dope Wars is the sixth-most popular download game on the Download.com web site.

In the game, players start with $2,000 in cash and $5,500 in debt. Players have 31 trips into neighborhoods to make as much money as they can selling marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine or any other drug. During the selling process, players come upon police officers and other obstacles.

Several politicians, including Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, condemned the game at a December hearing on violence in the media.
