Multimedia Celebrity Poker is a 1995 poker video game developed and published by New World Computing.[1]
Gameplay and concept
Multimedia Celebrity Poker is a simulation of the card game poker, in which the player competes with celebrities Joe Piscopo, Morgan Fairchild and Jonathan Frakes. The actors are presented via full-motion video.[2]
Reception
Multimedia Celebrity Poker won a negative review from PC Gamer US, whose writer Michael Wolf called it "just a poker sim with a gimmick" that "wears off as quickly as the video starts repeating itself".[1] Donald St. John of Electronic Entertainment found the game "not good at all".[4] Computer Gaming World's Alan Emrich was more positive, writing, "As a purely entertaining experience, which is clearly what New World had in mind for this product, it succeeds, but with considerable limitations."[3]
