A classic TI-BASIC game called 'Drugwars' has resurfaced for TI-82/83/83+ calculators, offering a nostalgic trip into 1980s-era programming. Originally released in 2000 by John E. Dell, this text-based simulation game tasks players with navigating the illicit drug trade, managing inventory, and evading law enforcement.

The game's mechanics involve buying and selling various drugs like cocaine, heroin, and weed while tracking cash, debt, and police encounters. Version 2.00 introduces updated mechanics, including random events like rival dealers undercutting prices or police raids. The core appeal lies in its simple yet engaging text interface and the challenge of maximizing profits within a month while avoiding jail. This revival highlights the enduring fascination with retro computing and hobbyist programming on classic platforms.
