Animated Strip Poker

About

Animated Strip Poker is a straightforward card game that blends simple strategy with a cheeky premise. You play against an animated opponent, trading cards in a bid to win their virtual clothing. The game uses a point-and-click interface for selecting moves, with each round requiring quick decisions to outwit the AI. Despite its adult-themed concept, the gameplay stays focused on basic poker mechanics, making it easy to pick up but tricky to master. What catches attention is its boldness for a 1985 title on home computers. While the graphics are rudimentary, the premise stood out in an era of simpler games. The December 31 release date is oddly specific, hinting at a rushed finish. The Commodore 64 version remains the most sought after, with its pixelated art and buzzy sound effects lingering in retro player memories. Not a classic, but a curiosity piece that hints at the era's creative (and cheeky) approach to software.
