Name the game - part 4

[child of Thor]

hmmm i kinda have an idea.....
what year and platform was it on GhengisFarb?

[Standup]

Leisure Suit Larry 1-7 ok that's sort of seven guesses but they're all a bit of a blur.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

1985 was the year it came out,
Dusty and dry a time of great drought.
My games I played on the C 64,
But it was available for Apple II and possibly more.

[child of Thor]

nice one!

Heres my pathetic attempt at poetry:

This classic themed game was simple but fun,
Your choice of words could score more than your "gun".
For many of us this game was a thrill,
If your charm was quite good you could gain Miss April.

The last line seems to point to the dozens of Strip Poker game from that era...Don't think it could be that but I have to start somewhere: Samantha Fox Strip poker?

Dammit Cap you got in before me. I also was working along the strip poker route of analysis, and that is the only game I can remember, probably not being the connoisseur of the genre you are.

Not sure where the words fit in though.

There was a Strip Poker game from Artsoft or something like that too.

But you gentlemen are not on the right track at all. The train is an Express going to New York and your trying to board a Tyco speedster on the racetrack in your living room.

The game has NOTHING to do with porn or nekkid females.

Your guesses are going the wrong way,
This game was a hoot for its day.
Hold on to your hat, and try not to frown
Or you might get run out of town.

Im thinking it was either one of those text adventure things or that weird experiment with personalities/sexes that a famous designer did around that time? closer than strip poker?

[DrSpike]

Ah I didn't get the subtle western reference before, but I think it's the classic 'Law of the West'.

If it is the new game will follow tomorrow, since time is short right now.

You think correctly.

[DrSpike]

No game from me as I wont be around for a few days. Someone else feel free to fill the void.

[duke o' york]

Yes, feel free.

*Duke can't think of anything immediately - well nothing that won't be too easy*

[Adagio]

I had a great idea some days ago, but for some reason I've forgotten... if I remember, I'll post it

[child of Thor]

I usualy snap these 'freebies' up like a hungry thing, but i'll show constraint this time as i'm sure everyone has had enough of my 'great graphics on 8bit atari' games

But dont wait too long as i dont know how long i can hold out!

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay

I know it was on C64, but not sure about others.
1987
Tony was probably playing this in gradeschool.
