Submission/Update Information Form
Program Title: SMSPOKER, aka The Original Buck Mann's Poker-for-One
Detailed Program Description: This program allows the user to play
5 card draw poker against the computer. The user plays to make the
highest ranking hand possible with higher payouts for better hands.
There is also a double-or-nothing option on drawing the next card.
Note: The attraction in the game is the interaction with the user in
the form of comments, etc. made by the computer dealer as the game
goes on. It is also possible to break the bank. In the full version
a player may save an account balance as well as borrow money from the
house as required. The house tracks repayments and charges interest
on the loan. A feature not seen until the game is played many times
is it's response to holidays, etc.
Who is the intended user? Adults
If this is an update, improvements over old version: Bugs have been
removed that were reported since 1982. The game handles a higher
betting limit now and makes a much wider range of comments as the game
progresses. The ability to speed the game up as you learn to play has
been added as well as the ability to turn off the sound.
Unique features of the program (why is your program better?): see the
detailed program description.
Program's capacity or limitations (i.e. how many records it will hold or
conditions where the program won't work, features described or implied
above that only come with registration): The version as provided above
will not allow the user to borrow money or to save an account. It is
otherwise a full version except for the story of Buck Mann. Users who
register and who break the bank will receive acknowledgement of having
broken the bank in the form of a T-shirt or autographed photo of Buck
Mann, etc. (no great value just an acknowledgement).
Does your program require any special systems requirements other than
256K memory, one floppy disk drive, and a monochrome monitor. If yes,
please list them: None
How to start the program: Type SMSPOKER at the DOS prompt
What is the registration fee for your program? $10.00 for 5.25 disk or
