I would imagine that the deveoping corp would have to apply for
permission to sell to Jow Public but that they could foist just about
any damn thing they like on their "corporate citizens" CP2020 had a
recurring theme of the megas pumping the streets full of experimental
drugs tro save on the R&D costs. Anyobe played any games of this
nature? Oh, and Wordman, did you convert the sections of drugs from
CP? or was that a Plastic Warriors effort?

IIRC, Wordman's drug list includes a few types that list CP2020 as their
inspiration. I do know for certain that I never converted all of CP2020's
drugs to SR, though.

Nor did we. The drug article in the collected NAGEE
(http://bhopal.flashpt.com/internet/nagee.nsf/docs/chemistry) was a three
person effort, and I mostly did the plants. Seth Narins (who now is a
surgeon in a trauma ward in Philadelphia) did a lot of the fictional drugs.
I'm not sure why he only did a few of the ones from CP2020. Probably those
were the only ones he liked.
