- 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.
