Strip Poker: A Sizzling Game of Chance (MS-DOS)
The game simulates five-card draw poker, where the player competes against virtual opponents with the objective of winning hands to prompt opponents to remove their clothing. Each opponent has multiple stages of undress, and the player's goal is to outplay them to reveal all stages. The game includes two initial female opponents, Suzi and Melissa, each with distinct playing styles. Additional data disks were available, offering a variety of new female and male opponents to enhance replayability.
Originally released for the Apple II in 1982, Strip Poker was subsequently ported to various platforms, including the Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit family, MS-DOS, Amiga, and Atari ST, between 1984 and 1987. The game was notable for its digitized graphics, which were considered advanced for the time, providing a more realistic depiction of opponents compared to contemporaneous titles.
Upon release, Strip Poker received mixed reviews. Critics acknowledged the novelty of combining poker with adult content but often critiqued the gameplay depth and the quality of the graphics. For instance, a review in Computer Gamer magazine from February 1987 noted that while the game offered a unique experience, it lacked the sophistication of other poker simulations. Despite this, the game garnered a following, particularly among adult audiences seeking unconventional gaming experiences.
