Blackjack & Poker was originally scheduled for release in 1979 as part of [[Mitlon Milton Bradley]]'s Gamevision series. The original title was to have been ''Card Sharp''. For unknown reasons it wasn't released until 1981 under the name of Blackjack and Poker and distributed with the help of [[Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments (TI)]].
The title screen doesn't hint that the game was made by [[Milton Bradley]] at all, as it only lists [[Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments (TI)]] on the copyright. Rumor says it's because there was a bug on the program that [[Milton Bradley]] was unable to resolve. It wasn't until sometime in 1980 that programmers from [[Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments (TI)]] were eventually able to locate and correct the bug, and inserted Texas Instuments on the title page for their part in the program.
