Samantha Fox Strip Poker is a 1986 erotic video game developed by Software Communications and published by Martech. It was published on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, MSX, and ZX Spectrum.

Contents

It is one of the first erotic video games to include a real human being. It is part of a theme of erotic games where players complete difficult tasks and are rewarded with nudity. [1]

Gameplay

The players plays 5-card or 7-card stud poker against British model and singer Samantha Fox. Winning hands results in her taking off her clothes until she is topless.

Development

The video game was programmed by Wolfgang Smith, with the graphics edited by Malcolm Smith. The author of the music is Rob Hubbard, credited with the name John York. The music includes a cover of "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin and "The Stripper" by David Rose.

Reception

ZZap!64 felt the music was well-suited to the style of game. [2] Commodore Format magazine thought that the idea of anybody using the game as a way to experience titillating content was depressing due to the required amount of effort from the player. [3]

Uvejuegos thought the game was a prime example of how strange the 1980s were. [4] Der Spiegel placed the game within the sub-genre of early pixelated digi-ladies of dubious beauty, along with Artworx's Strip Poker (1984). [5]
