A Bit More Poking Around In Poke-It Poker
I was playing a little bit of Poke-It Poker when I won several winning hands and reached a stoner number of credits:
This calls for a good celebration by getting stoned. 😛
Current Gaming Mood: Gin Rummy
I decided to check out the Gin Rummy card game made by MeggieSoft Games. Here’s what the gameplay looks like:
In order to knock in this game, you need 10 deadwood points or less after melding your cards in runs and/or ranks. The computer player will meld their cards and with some deadwood points left in their hand. You’ll get a Gin bonus if you get no deadwood points in your hand like this:
After the end of the round, the scores will show up and be given to either you or the computer for winning the round. If you reach 100 points before the computer does, you win the game!
That’s another card game added to my list of games that I really love to play. This game also lets you select kinds of sound effects, MIDI music, and it has a Speak-to-Me feature for the computer player which is cool. I rate this game 10 stars out of 10, baby!
Old School Fun With W5Card
I was playing an old Windows card game called W5Card. Here’s a screenshot of the game:
In this card game, the player needs a pair of Jacks or better to open at the start of a new game. If the player passes, the dealer may open or pass back. If the open is passed back, the player is allowed to start the betting.
When discarding, both the player and the dealer can get up 5 new cards.
At the end of the hand, the winner is given the entire pot; the pot stays on a tie. Also, if you lose all your money to the dealer you’ll get a closing quote:
Now would be a good time to experience other attractions in Las Vegas.
– MANAGEMENT
Not gonna lie, W5Card is one fun card game. 😛
More Poker Fun In Ultimate Card Games
I was bored so I did some Poker against my own characters in Ultimate Card Games for the GBA, and so far I managed to pull off a few wins like a boss.
Now I’m up to a winning streak of 4 total games played. I’m still a Poker Shark in this game. 🙂
Sprite Sheetifying Revisionification Time
I decided to set up a pending revision of my sprite sheet of playing cards used in the Windows PC version of Bicycle Solitaire and Bicycle Poker in the Spriters Resource website. Here’s the sheet before the revision:
And here it is after the revision:
Now that the revision is done, I must now play the waiting game.
Casino BlackJack Of All Trades
I decided to check out Casino BlackJack for Windows 3.11 running on DOSBox. I’ve never played that old-school Blackjack game before until now, and here’s what the actual gameplay looks like:
I’d say this is a really fun game, and what I like about it is there’s options involving check boxes for splitting aces, doubling down on any count, splitting any two cards and using bonus payments. You can also change the minimum and maximum bet limits while you’re there. Minimum bet limits are ranged from 1 dollar to 1,000 dollars, and maximum bet limits are ranged from 2,000 dollars to 10,000 dollars. Sweet!
Now I’m off to continue exploring something new (old) in the meantime. Until then, I will see you all next month!
Playing A Game Of The Card Variety
I was checking out a Japanese Game Boy card game called Card Game. This game has 4 different games to choose from. Here are the screenshots of what I’m talking about:
And as a result…
Oh, and here’s a sprite sheet that I’ve submitted to the Spriters Resource after playing this game:
But yeah, this is another fun card game from Japan. 😉
Let’s Talk About Some Acey Deucy
I was playing an old Windows game a couple years ago called Acey Deucy (a.k.a. Red Dog or In Between). It’s a casino game in which the player bets that the third card flipped will be between the first two in value. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:
To play this game, the player first places a bet and the dealer flips two cards. The player is then given the option to raise their bet and the third card is flipped. The player wins if the third card is in between the first two, but if the third card is not in between then the player loses.
I’d say this is an OK casino game, but I think I’ll stick with Caesars Palace.
Current Gaming Mood: Super Video Poker
Last night I played some Super Video Poker for Windows. It’s an old shareware game based on the popular video poker machines found in many casinos. Here’s what the gameplay of Super Video Poker looks like:
In this game, you start off with the default number of credits which is 200 and the objective is to win more credits by getting the best hands possible. I’d say this game is fun to play, and what I like about this game are the features in it such as animations and sound effects, game save/restore, video poker game variations, etc.
10 stars out of 10! 🙂
Current Gaming Mood: Smoke ’em Poker
I’ve been playing an old Windows 3.1 game under DOSBox called Smoke ’em Poker. It’s a card game where you play against up to 5 opponents simulated by the computer. This is what the actual gameplay looks like:
The main objective in this card game is to defeat all of your opponents in order to win the game:
I’d say this is a really fun card game to play, and what I like about this are the quotes from old-school movies and TV shows as sound files corresponding to current situations. What I also like about this game is there’s a feature that you can save your game during your progress. Awesome!
Anyways, I’ll play this some more and then off to something new (old). 😛
