Artworx was incorporated in 1981 in Fairport, NY, a suburb of Rochester, NY. We are celebrating our 26th year as an independant software publisher.

Bridge 8.0 is the longest continuously published bridge game for computers. It was originally coded in 1977 on one of the first "micro-computers" as a diversion from more important work at a large company in Rochester. It was first released to the public as Bridge 2.0 in 1978 and when Artworx was started, it was updated to Bridge 3.0. At various times, it was available for the Apple II, TRS-80, Atari (8-bit and ST), North Star, CP/M, Commodore Pet, VIC 20, Commodore 64, Amiga, Macintosh and PC. Bridge 2.0 and 3.0 had to fit in just 8K of RAM to run on those early computers. Bridge 4.0 required a whopping 24K!!! The ad below is from our 1984 Software Catalog:

Strip Poker was developed in 1982. From the outset, it was meant to be a sophisticated adult-oriented game with state of the art graphics. It was the first Strip Poker game published and is still the gold-standard of mature games. It was also the first published game that had add-on "Data" disks available. That feature is still available in the current releases of Strip Poker (CD versions and ESD downloadable versions). The latest is Strip Poker Professional FOUR and is in final testing right now.
