"What’s all the ruckus about?" It’s about Ruckus Poker! Okay, well maybe not. Ruckus Poker is an interesting little poker game, just for the selection of computer players. It reminds me of Sierra’s Hoyle series of card games. From the graphics it looks like this was a predecessor or they just didn’t have the same art budget.
The graphics aren’t horrid, but they are a bit flat, except for Marna and Luu. The variety of poker games will keep you interested for a while, especially if poker is your thing. The AI seemed reasonable for a card game. Throwing up $100 raises did not force and automatic fold by the computer, which some cheesy poker games call AI.
The one interesting feature is that each of the two characters opposite of you will display an occasional "thought balloon" with some type of message, ranging from cute to corny.
Ruckus Poker may not be worth making a big fuss over, but it is a solid card game that you can play when the guys are out of town, or you don’t have the cash to play real folks!
Drop the files into a folder. Run CBS16.BAT, which seems to work, although you may be able to just run POKER.EXE.
