Reception
In their July 1994 issue GamePro reviewed all of the Poker Face Paul games except Gin. They gave Poker a mostly negative review and outright panned both Blackjack and Solitaire, remarking that all three games suffer from poor graphics and sounds, and that aside from Poker they offer less fun than can be had by playing the game with a real deck of cards, which also cost far less than a Game Gear cartridge. Electronic Gaming Monthlys four were lukewarm to the game with one happy that it taught them basics of Blackjack, while another said users would be better off with a pair of cards.
