Dopewars for Android is a free game on the Market. It is based on the well-known Dopewars/Drugwars archetype (see Wikipedia's entry on the subject). The specific version I used to play was an MS-DOS based version back in the mid-90's, but I've also borrowed from the SourceForge project in choosing some of the price points and variance.
There's really only one novel thing about Dopewars for Android and that's the sort of 'social' aspect of it, which is limited to a global high score list (okay, that's not exactly novel) and the ability for players to have a part in the little random events that happen as you move around town. Basically every so often if you play enough you'll get the opportunity to add a message that other players might see when they're playing. These messages don't mean anything in terms of gameplay, they're just for fun. Cause seriously, fun is hard, and Dopewars is fun, so I'm really not interested in messing with it too much.
