About

Desktop Poker 1.0 is a casino-style video poker game by Ryuhei Okita, released as US$10 shareware through Info-Mac. The author describes a stripped-down click-driven design where everything you do happens through buttons or the cards themselves, with an optional DoubleUp side wager after each winning hand.How it playsHands are dealt and held entirely by mouse: click cards to hold and click the on-screen buttons to draw, deal, or bet. Win a hand and the DoubleUp game opens, letting you risk the pot for a chance to double your score.What it leaves outDesktop Poker 1.0 is deliberately compact: it does not implement the "Jacks or Better" payout rule and does not include JOKER (wild) cards in the deck, narrowing the variant set compared with larger video poker packages of its era.System requirementsPer the author's notes, the game needs roughly 2,100K of free memory, a 9-inch or larger color monitor with 256 colors, a 68030 or faster CPU, and System 7.1 or later. It was tested on an LC630, an LC475, and a 6100/66.Performance notesOn 68K Macs the author reports fast, clean performance; on the PowerMac 6100 under System 7.5.1, drawing slows somewhat due to the non-native code path.
