The Dope Game

Short description

To escape the city of Starkham and start your new life, your friend Preston sets up a meeting with the local loanshark, Sweaty Mike. After foolishly borrowing $2,000, you embark on a timed mission to sell as many illicit substances as possible. Based on John E. Dell's 1984 classic game Drugwars.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by $2.92, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $4.99 launch price. That is 41% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
