Drug Wars: A Game Based on the New York Drug Market

A text-based gameDrug Wars is a game where the player takes on the role of a street drug dealer in New York. The player character owes the local loan shark $5,500, but unfortunately only has $2,000. He has one month to earn money by selling drugs and repay the debt. The area of commerce where the player may buy or sell drugs consists of six regions in New York: the Bronx (home town), Ghetto, Central Park, Manhattan, Coney Island, and Brooklyn. The identified drugs are (from most to least expensive): cocaine, heroin, acid, weed, speed, and ludes. Additional 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 or borrow fresh funds from, and a place to stash surplus drugs (only in the Bronx). Random important features include someone offering the player to buy guns, a trench coat (more pockets to carry drugs), etc.
