Dope Wars Comes to the iPhone as iDope
posted April 15th, 2008 9:12 AM EDT by blakespot in Jailbreak, Strategy, iPhone games, iPod touch gamesDope Wars, one of the more popular turn-based strategy games out there (with parents: less popular) has landed on the jailbroken iPhone and iPod touch in the form of iDope.
A native application available through Installer, iDope is “an amazing accurate port of the popular Dope Wars game.” You get all the features that you’ve grown accustomed to, including the ability to “pay off loan shark loans, location hopping, a wide variety of ‘product’ to choose from, randomized police chases,” and much more. There’s even a “hospital” option for treating your injuries.
iDope brings all of the playability of the desktop versions to mobile gamers, including online leaderboards, thanks to its rich connectivity.

They need Installer support. They need to get this onto a repository. I used to play this game back in the day, and i would like to play it again, however, i’m not in the mood to d/l it, un.rar it, install SSH, and file transfer it..
Installer is a beautiful solution.

This game is a terrible ripoff of a good premise. the only aim is to get cash, with no rewards. and no possibility of personalising the game. No mansion, no missions, no new areas nothing to unlock or do.
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.
beat it in 15 mins, uninstalled it in 25.
Max cash is ≈21400000000. (Thats 11 digits)
Glitch:
after buying some dope, tap either the remaining health or money button on the jacket screen to crash iDope and leave you on the springboard. Reopen iDope you will be back in the same area with different prices and unltd. pockets in your jacket. you can avoid the cops this way and buy as much dope as you can afford…
