I remember seeing this for the first time on a friend’s PC. The animation blew me away and I’ll never forget hearing the hard disk crunching away as the animations were loaded.
Holy. Haven’t thought about that game in years. Fond memories!
Yes! We had this game on all our school computers when I was in grade 6, so many memories.

Aww man! Thanks. I played this as a kid and completely forgot about it. What a blast
Love it! Played it a ton way back when!
What a blast from the past. I loved playing this game on the family computer back when I was a kid. The death animations were very entertaining.
I loved Battle Chess. What kind of hardware did people play it on back then?
Amiga 500, but I mainly goofed around for different animations rather than actually playing chess.
