Here's a program to set you drooling, a card game with multi-colour hi-resolution nudes (all done in the best of taste ... of course). After the plethora of pontoon games, it was nice to play something a little more taxing. This program is a good implementation of draw poker. And, to a relative amateur at the game, presents a good challenge.

The screen is split into two portions. The top half shows the full colour picture of your glamorous opponent and the bottom, rather smaller portion shows the cards.

You each start with $100 and your opponent can borrow $100 by removing a garment. All the normal facilities are available including betting. raising and calling. You can change any number of your cards and all is done with tolerable sound effects of shuffling and dealing.

The tape comes with two opponents, one on each side and each equally attractive. Turbo loading is used and operates without problems. My one complaint is that a joystick must be used to play the game.

In all an excellent buy, if only for the graphics.
