iPhone app simulates political corruption
You now can practice the skills of a corrupt Chicago politician, thanks to a new game that appeared Thursday on Apple's iTunes App Store.

So basically....
...It's a mod of the old "Drug Wars" game then..?
...Headstone because the game is older then most el-Reg readers.... :D
Old but
Reminds the old jocks aroud here how amazing these text-based adventure games were. xzip sits there for a reason. I might consider getting an i{everythingbuta}Phone finally.
@ Bill
Thanks - knew it was familiar, but couldn't remember the name....must dig out an old copy and enjoy again

Staging a Reservoir Dogs final shot here would take months.
sigh
Now I have to read about our fine (disgraced) State Of IL here on The Register...
What's next, "The Roland Burris USB reporter dodger!" ??
@Bill
Awww Im 27 and I remember Drug Wars.....Had alot of fun with it too.
Now Im hurt
I must have had a bad day
...I read the headline as "iPhone stimulates political corruption"

Imagine, you have to stimulate the fanbois by releasing shiny new bling/machines with high price tags every few months then issue refunds when shoddy manufacturing releases products that crack or scratch at the drop of a hat.

RE Bill and James
James : I'm only 24 and i remember it fondly.
Bill : Just how young do you think we are?
Re: Bill and James (FAO D@v3)
That's a trick question isn't it? Tell us your age and then ask us what it is, there's got to be a catch... That or it was just a really daft question!
