Special Deal of the Day: Imagine Poker 1.5.2 (Universal) for 50% Off--$9.95 Today Only

Imagine Poker is a breath of fresh air in the world of Mac card games. Goodbye, Solitaire.

Sit back, relax, and play the most entertaining, addictive, and intelligent poker game ever created for the computer. Match wits with some of history and fantasy’s most colorful characters!

Dracula, Robin Hood, Napoleon, Cleopatra, Neptune, and many more show you their poker faces! Even the Abominable Snowman traveled all the way from Kathmandu to participate in the Imagine Poker tournament!

In Imagine Poker, you play in a light-hearted Texas Hold 'Em tournament against the stars of your imagination with great graphics and the solid, stable gameplay Candywriter is known for.

The foundation of Imagine Poker is largely based on the Poker Ghost engine. For you that means a chance to play against some of the most challenging and advanced artificially intelligent card players ever coded onto a computer. How honest is "Honest" Abe Lincoln? How does Joseph Stalin's reign of terror or Julius Caesar's militaristic legacy transfer to the card table?

Until now it was never easy to play a good game of computer poker when you had the urge. You either had to play for real money against a bunch of mysterious sharks online or play for free against people who may as well call on every hand. Oh, and lets not forget the computer poker games on the market prior to Imagine Poker. Weak gameplay, boring computer players, and graphics so dull they make your wallpaper look exciting.

Candywriter teamed up with three independent graphic artists to make this application possible - in the best possible way. But that's enough reading – by now you could be bluffing Little Red Riding Hood out of her lunch money.

Normally $19.95, Imagine Poker 1.5.2 (Universal) is offered for $9.95 today only--that's 50% off as Today's MacUpdate Software Promo. [Bill Fox]
