Strip Poker Professional gives the familiar poker-and-strip concept a more serious-sounding title, although “professional” may be doing some heavy lifting here. The game revolves around conventional poker decisions, with players managing their bets, judging hands and attempting to outwit computer opponents. The adult theme provides the main gimmick, turning victories and defeats into something rather more embarrassing than simply losing money. Its presentation reflects the technology and design conventions of early 1990s DOS games, with simple visuals and a straightforward interface. Strip Poker Professional is not really interested in reinventing poker; instead, it takes an established game and wraps it in a provocative novelty. That makes it an interesting relic of computer gaming history, particularly for anyone curious about the kinds of software that flourished outside the mainstream. Just remember: bluffing is still easier than explaining your purchase to the family.
