At first look, Hacker International’s blackjack game appears to pit you against a balding lady. It turns out our little unlicensed 8-bit smut peddlers actually hit the big time here, though, as they contracted the services of one Hayama Reiko as their model for this game. She’s a former idol who turned to the underworld of JAV (and looks a lot better IRL) I guess after she aged out of Idoru World (at like 20 or so).
As with the company’s take on video poker, it incorporates odd (and very player-friendly) rules: you get to place your bet AFTER you’ve seen the first two dealt cards, and also each player can only draw one extra card. This means the game is trivial to win over the long run if you play conservative and only make big bets when you’re dealt Le Nuts with your first two cards.
Once you inevitably win, though, instead of getting down to the stripping you’re dumped to a casino view where you have to negotiate a menu of moon runes. I couldn’t get anywhere from there. Apparently you need to conversate Ms. Reiko into stripping, but without an English translation that seems pretty much impossible given there’s like over a dozen menu choices.
