Prohibition 2: The Dope Wars

Prohibition 2: The Dope Wars

App Maker: Catamount Software
Reason: Objectionable content

The game lets users battle for market share as a drug dealer in New York City. Apple blocked the game because of its objectionable content in January 2009 but let Catamount release a more innuendo-laced version called Candy Wars six days later. The police and players no longer fire guns and instead battle with pixie dust. Players don't pose as drug dealers either, selling rock candy instead.
