The maker of this game in no way supports the use of illegal drugs. Drugs can be very dangerous. Many people who start drugs do not know what they are getting themselves into. Many times, people don't even know the physical and emotional consequences that can result from using a drug. Be safe, be smart. Respect yourself, inform yourself.

Visit http://kites_shroom.tripod.com/ for a full set of instructions. The goal of this game, "Mr. Shroom", is to meet your quota within your time constraints. Mr. Shroom is the extra large mushroom shop at the top left of the map where you begin. You can buy drugs from there. Buying drugs gives your Drug Dealer experience. You get the same amount of experience for each drug despite whether the drug is priced normally, high, or low. Yes drug prices do fluctuate throughout the game. There will not always be a low. Once you have your drugs, you need to sell them. To sell a drug, move your Drug Dealer to one of the cities on the map. Find a citizen (multicolored villagers). Now single right-click the drug in your Drug Dealer's inventory and then single left-click on the citizen you want to sell it to. Now return to Mr. Shroom and repeat the process. The more drugs you sell, the more experience and money you get. With larger amounts of money you can buy bigger and badder drugs. Drugs will always return you 120% their original worth upon a sale. When selling drugs, type -sales or -s to make sure that you are not losing profits. Negatives mean you are losing profits. Avoid confrontations with cops. Occasionally citizens will turn into Narcs (Narcotics agents). You want to stay away from these guys too. Many law enforcement units have some type of ability to impeed your movement (such as poison or frost). They also have special abilities such as slow and shadow strike.
