This game is a really big deal for me! I was addicted to it in high school and it left a lasting impression. Drugwars directly inspired my passion project, Farmhand: https://www.farmhand.life/

I'm so happy to see this pop up here! :)

When everyone had this and a Mario clone on their Ti calcs I had a game inspired by it on my Palm - Space Trader

Algebra 2 : AKA Drugwars and Snake

Luckily I was ahead a year and didn't need to retake that class LOL. Went on to calc and discrete math.

I loved this game. I played this game instead of learning math, unfortunately. It was only by the grace of other apps on my TI-83+ that I was able to pass my exams...

I feel vindicated by the rise of AI. Soon nobody else will know how to do anything without a small computer either.
