A Game for the Palm Called Dope Wars
DopeWars for the Palm is a computer game that lets the player adopt the role of an urban drug dealer, buying and selling a wide array of narcotics. The game has come under fire for glamorizing violence and the drug trade.
But that has not kept it from developing a following among Wall Street types for whom it combines the adrenaline of the trading floor, a vicarious Bonnie-and-Clyde lawlessness and the latest in mobile gadgetry. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/15/technology/15DOPE.html?031 5ci
