Home Casino Poker Etc

Yes, it really has got "Etc" in the title! Dubl Dubl Funware are an American company, as you might guess from the price. Home Etc is a straight-forward translation of Draw Poker, Stud Poker and Blackjack to the ST. The market isn't exactly swamped by such games (except maybe in the PD) so at least Etc has little competition.

There's very little you do with Poker and Blackjack, and that's just what's been done here. Each game is presented with clear, colourful card graphics and some effort has been made to make screens of text options look interesting. There are plenty of variations to the basic games to suit every kind of card player. So, if you want some decent well-presented card games on your ST, you haven't really got any choice but to go for this one. The only snag is the hassle of sending $35 to America to nab a copy. Dubl Dubl Funware's address is 4533 S. E. 85th Avenue, Portland, OR 97266, USA.
