Drug dealing game launched on iPhone
A controversial game has been launched for the Apple iPhone where players deal drugs from real-world locations.
Using the GPS in their mobile phones to track their movements, gamers connect with each other trying to buy drugs including cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy at low prices.
They then move around cities such as London, Manchester and Birmingham trying to sell them on for a profit, making trades with real people online.
Makers say of the game Underworld (initially called DrugLords) : "You become a drug dealer in the criminal underworld, which exists parallel to your everyday life."
The game is expected to be available from the Apple iTunes store just in time to outrage anti-drugs charities for Christmas.
A spokesperson for game developers a-steroids said: "The idea is simple. Moving between real-world locations, you trade various drugs: buy low and sell high.
"You start as a small-time drug pusher with a goal to be a famous drug baron, make a fortune and dominate the world."
