But can you still play Drug Wars?

Has anyone ever beaten that game? Is it even possible?

It's possible to get to the last day and have a lot of money, which is your "score." The world leaderboards have some ridiculous highscores on the remake called Dope Wars.

That is a strategy guide.

I have never managed to do it.

I played whatever version was easily accessible on Ubuntu’s repository in 2009, and once managed to get a ton of bitches and effectively infinite money. I have no idea how I did it.

No one has beaten The Game, but it is possible. We just need to wait for the Pope to declare that it has come to an end
