History

DopeWars is a PalmOS clone of an old DOS game of the same name. The original DOS version was written by John Dell. DopeWars was originally created for the Palm by Matthew Lee while he was at MIT. Matt hasn't made available any changes or updates to the game in about 3 years. Also in that time he has left MIT and has taken down the DopeWars website. Taking all that into account, another developer, Michael Hallett, decided to fix the known bugs and add a few new features. He also decided to host a website for the game, which is in the planning stage.

DopeWars is not intended for audiences under the age of 18 due to its drug-related content.

"This program is freeware, and the source code is available free of charge as well at the DopeWars web site. I believe the Palm community could use more quality free programs and less poor-quality shareware programs. Also, I learned PalmOS programming from studying other programmers' code, and I hope new programmers might learn something from my code as well." -- Matt Lee
