Originally called вЂњDrug Czar,вЂќ the entire point of Raid 2020 was to defeat drug dealers, straight up. Max is one of the few characters who straddles the line between narcotic user and crusaderвЂ¦ which probably explains all that slo-mo bullet time in his games. When youвЂ™ve been entrenched in the underworld, spent years of your life chasing down a designer drug syndicate and seen as much violence and tragedy as Max Payne, thereвЂ™s no real surprise that our hero started popping pills. No matter how it shakes down, Tripto fucks with Norman like one of those before/after meth pictures.

In many ways, Heavy RainвЂ™s drug of choice actually sounds more like methadone, a drug to get you off harder drugs. Unlike most other games on this list, itвЂ™s Heavy RainвЂ™s hero, Norman, who is indulging in the fictional TriptoвЂ™s habit. Or so weвЂ™re led to believe in Heavy Rain. ItвЂ™s as simple game that was as addictive as the drugs we were selling in it. Highest profit after paying back the loans wins. That means borrowing capital from loan sharks to buy up and sling as many drugs as you can in a 30-day span.

You may have played Dope Wars on your computer, your phone, or even your TI-83 calculator when you were pretending to learn trigonometry in middle school because itвЂ™s a text-based game that challenges you to channel your inner drug kingpin.
