It was like my own Millennium Falcon holo-chess, except, you know, not that cool.
OP did you not know about this? https://youtu.be/kIUlmuEtgkY?si=1w3yfJZ0WtzT_vWQ
I’d remember playing this on Nintendo when I was around 7 years old. My cool ass already knew how to play chess for a year or so, but I would absolutely bomb it during the fights.
My brother and I would set the other up just so we could see new cut scenes!
Pawns don’t often take queens and kings without a little help.
Think of all the effort you spent when you could have just waited 36 years to watch a video compilation instead.
It doesn’t seem to say, but I think that’s the MS-DOS version.
I don’t know if they ever made a color Mac version. I definitely don’t remember if that one was in color because I eventually got the MS-DOS version and I can’t remember if they were the same.
But this is a video I can find for the Mac version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StKlUtx5tHg
Weirdly, there was a color version for the Apple IIgs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXnAcUAN0W4
Every version was different. This is the Amiga version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADcEI84wMX0
God damn the nostalgia hits hard
I had this on the commodore Amiga. It was an absolute classic.
Oh man, what a game. I remember playing it as a kid.
#metoo
The rook taking pieces was my favorite thing! We had it for the Amiga.
Devouring the queen and flattening pawns with one punch.
System 7 Ready!
Worked great on my LC II!
That was my first computer! I wanted this game so bad back then, never had it. I’ll have to spin it up on my os-9’ed g4 Mac mini, hopefully it still runs in 9, most things I’ve tried do.
Man, I don’t know why, but I remember the animations from this game. I think maybe my dad had an old demo of it?
It was ported to everything in the late 80s, nes included, so it wouldn’t surprise me. 7 year old me totally sucked at the fighting.
