The modern package includes a Unix-style text client, server support for multiplayer games, Windows builds, and optional graphical or SDL variants. ### Projektgeschichte The project FAQ says dopewars was originally developed on a RedHat Linux system and is loosely based on John E. Dell's 1980s Drug Wars, with closer influence from the MS-DOS Dopewars rewrite. The README describes version 1.6.2 as a game about making money in New York while managing debt and police risk. The current GitHub repository was created in 2015, but the SourceForge site and FAQ preserve the older project identity and documentation. SourceForge file metadata shows 1.6.2 release artifacts published in June 2022, while GitHub metadata shows maintenance activity continuing into 2026. ### Adoptionsgeschichte dopewars is long-lived in Unix packaging culture because it is small, text-capable, network-aware, and portable. It appears in Homebrew and several Unix-like distribution package sets, and the official site has historically distributed tarballs, RPMs, and Windows binaries. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users run `dopewars` for the standard multiplayer-capable game, `dopewars -a` for antique mode closer to the original, `dopewars -s` for a server, or `dopewars -c` for a computer player. Configuration is read from `/etc/dopewars` and `~/.dopewars` on Unix, with a Windows-friendly configuration filename documented in the README. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren dopewars is package-nerd significant as a classic small game that survived across SourceForge, GitHub, Unix packages, RPMs, and Windows binaries. It is also a good specimen of old-school free software game packaging: curses, GLib, optional GUI pieces, config files, high-score files, client/server mode, and long compatibility windows. ### Zeitleiste - 1980s: John E.
