Game description

Samantha Fox Strip Poker describes a seven-card stud poker game. The player tries to unlock digitized images of the photo model by repeatedly winning individual poker games, which are displayed more and more freely as the game progresses. This freedom of movement is comparable to the pin-up photos that founded Fox's career - “The player didn't see more than bare bosom.” The game contains a total of six different black and white images. The maps are displayed in color, however. According to advertisements for the game, the program is able to analyze the game behavior of the player ("able to analyze your play"). The game was also advertised as “probably the most powerful simulation ever written for a home microcomputer”. As described in the 5/86 issue of ASM magazine , this analysis is just a cheat of the computer program: the computer program knows the player's cards and therefore knows whether he is bluffing .

The Entertainer by Scott Joplin and The Stripper by David Rose are used for the game music . Rob Hubbard implemented the pieces under the pseudonym "John York". Hubbard didn't want his name to be associated with the game because he thought it was "such a cheesy game and the company insisted on those cheesy and weak pieces of music" ("Sam Fox Strip Poker was such a cheesy title and they wanted that cheesy." lame music along with it ").

criticism

The British magazine Your Sinclair and ASM gave the game good ratings. Your Sinclair awarded eight out of ten points and described a “combined thrill of gambling and naked bodies”. ASM magazine rated the motivation to play with ten out of ten points, the graphics with nine points and the music with eight points. Above all, the ability to analyze the program, the sound, the instructions and the graphics were praised. Disadvantages are the black and white display and that pictures of the main actress and music are only displayed and played after a game has been won. The British magazine CRASH rated the game as mediocre. While it is one of the best computer poker games, the better alternative is to buy the Sun for a week to see pictures of the leading actress. This alternative is cheaper and the photos are of much better quality. The Happy Computer Games special section special issue 2/86 awarded a rating of 19%. The "misogynistic" computer game is primitive "nonsense that does not help anyone". The graphic is a "laugh hit" from "confused pixel colonies". Even Der Spiegel describes, but some 15 years later, the graphics as "poor digitized little picture."
