Drug Wars - Underworld is available now.
Yes...and no. 'Drug Wars' was a game concept which originated in the
mid 1980's, with a very popular console game for MS-DOS. During the 1990's, a few
people published adaptations of this 'transaction based game' for various platforms,
including Palm OS, Windows, Mac and Linux. While these were all great games, they
lacked the innovation found in the original. Drug Wars - Underworld from Geek Phase
recreates the excitement of the original, while making innovative advances in game-play
and strategy.
Drug Wars - Underworld requires a PC running Windows 95 or higher.
Some older installations of Windows 95 may require service packs or updates. Drug Wars - Underworld
has been tested with all versions of Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, and 98.
Not initially. Geek Phase is a strong supporter of alternative platforms, and
we hope to provide versions for these platforms at some point. If you are interested in

Perhaps. As we continue to work on the software, we'll be selecting some of the more
active registered players to test new version. We recommend that you make sure you're active in the
Member's Area.

This has to do with our long-term strategy for the game. As we release
updates, you'll see what we mean.
