iPhone drug pushing game on the way, renamed itself for App-ceptability

The world of a drug dealer is not something I'd ever imagine as videogame-friendly entertainment, but that hasn't stopped developer a-steroids from bringing Drug Lords to the iPhone. At least, it used to be called Drug Lords. Now it's just called Underworld.

Underworld is coming to the App Store as a free download, and promises the type of fun-filled mirth that could only come from being a scummy drug pusher, selling your stash to others in a multiplayer environment. Most disturbingly, the game uses the iPhone's GPS system, allowing you to fully capture the experience of drug dealing from a real-life street corner and find other pretend dealers in the area.

That's kind of messed up.

Underworld was renamed to make it acceptable for the App Store. It's still awaiting approval, but you should be able to start creepily mimicking the life of a drug pusher sometime this month.

Anyone remember Drug Wars on TI graphing calculators, a drug-selling "sim" akin to playing the stock market?

ahh... good times.

@ nmezib: That was the first thing that came to my mind when I read this. I imagine this will be somewhat of a clone of that game, at least in terms of the overall concept.

I had the Drug Wars game on my computer, that thing was fun!

I hope this is similar to it, and it looks like it just may be. If it's free, I'll become a pusher for sure!
