Dope Wars is a turn-based strategy computer game in which the player simulates the role of a drug dealer. The game's objective is to make the maximum amount of money within a limited time. The object of the game is to deal the most drugs to pay off the "loan shark" (who charges interest) by the end of the game and make a profit.

There have been various incarnations of this game. There are web-based versions, cell phone versions, a Windows client, a Linux client, and a version for the Mac OS X Dashboard.

There have been reports of spyware and trojans bundled with the Windows client.[1]

Drugwars is a popular TI calculator port of this game, which was based upon the original PC version, although it was initially called Dope Wars as well.

On Monday, March 17th 2008, a new version of DopeWars for the iPhone popped up on Buzzfeed and Apple's "Staff Picks" webapp list. It is also available for install for jailbroken iPhone's using the Installer App maintained by the iPhone Community.

The social networking websites Myspace and Facebook also have versions of the game.
