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

I did not, but it looks like it came out in the 90s and Battle Chess came out in the 80s.
I hope you are appropriately blown away by watching C3P0 kill Darth Vader
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
The rook taking pieces was my favorite thing! We had it for the Amiga.
Devouring the queen and flattening pawns with one punch.
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.
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.
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
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.
