I read this article and I was curious.  Does the pre-release code really includes a virtual poker game?

"The pre-release Bitcoin code also contained early framework for an IRC Client, a peer-to-peer marketplace and a virtual poker game."

There's a better version of that article with full references of the codes: Google cached version
If the references weren't edited, then it's true.

It's also available in this repo which is a copy of old bitcoin code from this relevant thread:

How fancinating!  Thank you nc50lc ---the original article you pointed out is much more interesting and informative than what is currently available.
