SAMANTHA FOX STRIP POKER
Martech,
£8.95 cass, joystick or keys
|
|
|
She's induced rigor mortis into many a lust-driven man
by baring all in the daily tabloids and singing suggestive
lyrics, and now she will no doubt do the same to Commodore
owning chauvinists everywhere. Yes, It's Samantha Fox,
and this is her strip poker. The rules are straightforward
enough -- beat Sam at five card draw poker and she removes
her clothes for you. Slurp, drool, slobber. If you lose
-- well, that depends upon how kinky you are; if you
fancy sitting in front your 64 dressed only in your
undies, then fair enough, whatever turns you on.
You
start with £100 and have to put in the necessary ante
of £5 with each new game. However, the size of your
bets is up to you. A hand of five cards is dealt to
both players; your cards are displayed at the bottom
of the screen, but Sam keeps hers to herself. You are
only allowed to change your hand once, and £25 is the
maximum bet or raise. Otherwise, the standard rules
of poker apply -- the highest hand wins. Whenever Sam
loses a hand and reaches zero, she has to remove one
item of clothing and exchange another for £100. That
is, if she has any clothing left . . .

What
have Sam Fox's brain and Martech's marketing people
got in common? I'll let you work that one out
for yourselves. . . The game itself is quite average,
with old Sam playing a fair old game of poker
for a 19 year old midget, but when she loses,
the clothes fall and the temperature rises. It's
all very stupid really; how anyone is expected
to get excited over a bunch of pixels, a rather
badly put together bunch of pixels at that. If
someone offered me a choice between listening
to Barry Leitch's Chicken Song or playing Sam
Fox Strip Poker ...
I must admit I'd go for Strip
Poker
because it isn't that bad.

The tunes are aurally obscene --
they suit the game well.

Once you've seen all there is to

But certainly not sweet.
