iPhone Drug Sim Developers Obviously Still Partaking of their Own Merchandise

You may remember us telling you a while ago about an iPhone game called Drug Lord — see the video above — which was a location-based drug dealing simulator and which stood absolutely no chance of appearing in the App Stores because, well, it was a drug dealing simulator. It seems the makers have taken this possible draw-back on board, and before recently submitting the finished game to Apple for approval, have changed its name to Underworld.

OK, two points. Firstly, when I hear ‘Underworld’ I instantly think of Kate Beckinsale in a tight leather cat suit. So if I download this game based on its name alone, I’m going to be more than a little disappointed. And secondly, you forgot to remove the drug dealing elements of the game. Seriously, guys, my own game concept, Vivisection — which is like classic battery-powered tweeze-’em-up Operation, only featuring photo-realistic graphics of kittens and puppies — stands a greater chance of getting accepted.

Which is a shame, because I was looking forward to seeing whether Drug Lord Underworld featured any kind of Camden-based ’skunk’ Easter eggs.
