You can switch back from this screen to the drug price screen with the "D" key, but note that the "Jet" command is now missing from the drug price screen - you must instead use the "F" key to return to the fight, and conclude it before continuing on your way. When you attack another player, or another player attacks you, the main screen which normally lists drug prices at the current location is replaced by the fighting screen. You can either ignore them completely (with the "E" key) in which case they will never know you were there, or you can attack them with the "A" key. If, in the course of normal play, you are carrying one or more guns, and you jet to the a location where another player already is, you will be informed of their presence. Unfortunately, there is a chance that your spy may be discovered by your opponent later on. If your enemy accepts the bitch, you will then be able to see everything about the enemy whenever you like, by pressing the "C" key from the main drug prices screen. A spy, on the other hand, will present himself to the enemy as a bargain bitch (in the same way as normal "bargain bitches" appear). In any case, if you lose a bitch you may also lose any drugs or guns which they were carrying (remember that each bitch can carry one gun, and increases your inventory - your available space - by 10).Ī tip-off means that Officer Hardass or Bob will attack your chosen enemy when they jet to their next location (and then you will get to hear the result of the encounter). With this you can sack one of your bitches (with the "G" key again), pay one to tip off the cops to one of the other players, or pay one to leave your employment and to join another player and spy on them for you. The "G" key activates the "give errand" command. This will either list the other players in the game, or the list of high scores maintained by the server which you're connected to. These messages will appear in the Messages window also.Īnother new command in multiplayer mode is the list command ("L" key). To send a private message, use the "P" key and select the player instead. When in multiplayer mode, you can send a message to all current players by pressing the "T" key from the main drug prices screen, and then typing in your message. Other players which join or leave the game once you are playing will announce their presence to you automatically via the "Messages" window. When joining a game which already contains other players, they will be listed to you. If you log on to a dopewars server, there is the possibility of meeting other players, either human or computer-controlled. Random important features include someone offering the player to buy guns, a trench coat (more pockets to carry drugs), etc.Quote Multiplayer: interacting with other players Though running may serve a better purpose in the end.Īdditional features are banks (only in the Bronx) to stash cash in case the player gets mugged in the subway, the loan shark to pay off (the debt) or borrow fresh funds, and a place to stash surplus drugs (only in the Bronx). Also if the player carries to much 'goods', the player may attract attention from the local militia (police) which may provoke a gun fight (if the player bought some guns). Each movement also triggers price change of the drugs, which makes it very hard to predict prices when the player travels from one area to another area. Each time the player travels, a random event may occur (e.g. Time is represented by a turn-based motion activated when the player travels from one area to another area (or jet). In one month, the player will have to pay off the debt and make as much money as possible. The identified drugs are (from most to least expensive): Cocaine, Heroin, Acid, Weed, Speed, and Ludes. The area of 'commerce' where the player can buy or sell drugs consists of 6 regions in New York: the Bronx (home town), Ghetto, Central Park, Manhattan, Coney Island, and Brooklyn. Even to the most specific details: The player owes the local loan shark $5500 but the player only has $2000! Sound familiar? In, fact it sounds almost exactly like Dope Wars. If you deal too heavily in drugs, you might run into the police!! Your main drug stash will be in the Bronx. Then, make as much money as you can in a 1 month period. The object of the game is to pay off your debt to the loan shark. This is a game about buying, selling and fighting. The game instructions basically cover everything about the game: A game where the player takes on the role of a street drug dealer in New York.
