Strip Poker II, also known as Deluxe Strip Poker, is a card game developed and published by Artworx Software Company, Inc. in 1988. As a sequel to the original Strip Poker: A Sizzling Game of Chance, the game allows players to engage in five-card draw poker against digitized opponents who progressively remove clothing upon losing hands. The game was released for multiple platforms, including DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, and Apple IIGS.

The gameplay centers on traditional five-card draw poker mechanics, where the player competes against computer-controlled opponents. The primary appeal lies in the digitized images of the opponents, which were considered impressive for the time, given the hardware limitations. The game includes two default opponents, Suzi and Melissa, with additional opponents available through expansion disks. These expansion disks have become rare collectibles over time.
Upon its release, Strip Poker II received mixed reviews. Critics acknowledged the quality of the digitized graphics but often criticized the game for its lack of depth and limited replay value. For instance, Aktueller Software Markt (ASM) noted that the game was on par with its predecessor, implying minimal innovation. Conversely, Joystick magazine provided a more favorable review, awarding the game a score of 81%.
The game's adult-oriented content sparked discussions about the role of eroticism in video games during the late 1980s. While some players appreciated the novelty and risqué nature of Strip Poker II, others viewed it as lacking substantive gameplay beyond its provocative imagery. This dichotomy highlighted the challenges developers faced when incorporating adult themes into interactive entertainment.
Despite its controversies and mixed critical reception, Strip Poker II holds a place in gaming history as part of the early exploration of adult content in video games. It reflects a period when developers experimented with integrating mature themes, paving the way for future titles that would approach such content with greater sophistication and depth.
