Poker (M.E.Yates, 1985) is a good version of five card draw. Personally, I slightly prefer "Poker" by "De Barron Software Ltd" as that's a bit more polished than this one with better card graphics. Overall though, there's not much between the two and they certainly both deserve a rating of 4.
The two games are very similar in that a single human player plays against four computer-controlled players. However, this version has no-limits betting (edit - in fact there is a huge limit of £9999 per bet) and it also reveals the cards of your losing opponents (who didn't fold) after you win a round, which is an interesting feature.
The effectively no-limits betting means that a skilled player can win the game much quicker then the "De Barron" version, so this one's better for a quicker game. Of course if playing recklessly then it's much quicker to lose too!
Despite the overall typical shorter game duration, this version is a little bit sluggish in general play, with a more BASIC feel about it. So modern gamers will need a bit of patience to persevere with it. Particularly, waiting for shuffling, dealing and card sorting seems to take an age by modern standards even though it's only a few seconds. Incidentally, the BREAK key and "STOP in INPUT" tricks are both trapped with an amusing message.
In summary one of the better draw poker implementations on the speccy.
