Drugwars 86 3.1

--------


The objective of this game, for those of you who have no clue, is to pay off
your debt to the loan shark (who only deals in the Bronx) in 30 days while making
as much money for yourself as possible.  You start in the Bronx and can jet to
various places in NYC.  While you play, sometimes you will be offered various
items, which I'll not go into detail about.  However, you may not necessarily want
to buy everything offered to you.  Also, if you exchange a lot of drugs, you may be
chased by Officer Hardass...

Note that versions 3.x are a MAJOR upgrade from version 2.1.  Since then I have
become much, much better at assembly, so I decided over spring break to make this
game something I'm not ashamed of :).  I have added a save feature, a title screen,
a more graphical menu structure, and fixed tons of problems from version 2.1.
I hope you like the result.

Included is the source code, for those of you who are interested.  You're welcome
to use any piece of it you wish provided you give credit.

If you find any bugs, please e-mail me (ComAsYuAre@aol.com) and I'll try to fix it
immediately.  Also, if you have any comments, recommendations, or complaints, just
drop me a line.
