He actually said he's trying to run it in XP:

(...) but i cant run it on wondows xp.. eror say no expanded memory manager

[Goodguy3]

i used to own this, but i guess it was a different version. i remember a tutorial where each piece gave a speech describing how they move and how they can attack. 'twas hilarious! especially the queen's rant about getting another queen with the "pawn to the other side of the board" trick.

The graphics of the enhanced version are really beautiful and well done, but the gameplay remains the same.

I would be very suprised if the gameplay of chess suddenly changed

I used to play the game a couple years ago, but as I recall, it was full of bugs. It never let me win, because when I was about to ''kill'' the king, it acted really weird and turned into a completely different piece. Sometimes the game would freeze.

Yepp, this version still doesn't let you win...

And you just have to love how the opposing Queen mysteriously gets two moves in a row......I know how to play chess and I still can't figure out why they would program such a dirty move >.> Hmmm...

He only does two moves, ich you are checkmate...
The first move is the one that sets you checkmate, the second one is the move that kills your king

This is the windows version, funnily enough it says it wont give me sound effect when I start it. also its not full screen even when maximized.

I've got the origonal DOS version somewhere... u guys want it?

I have a manual for the Amiga version of Battle Chess... I can scan it for the site. It's a little worn but should be readable.

I'll have to use my brothers scanner since I don't have one, so it'll take awhile. Let me know if you want it scanned or not.

check this out: http://www.thehouseofgames.net/index.php?t=10&id=73

there's a manual there as well, apparently for the NES version of the game.

I love Battle Chess! I've been playing it ever since it was a baby way back on DOS. I've played through every version of Windows up to and through 98SE, but IT WONT WORK UNDER VISTA! And now the new Windows version that WILL play on Vista is just as small as the print in this message. Cam't you open it up to full screen? I'd gladly pay for that![size=7]

Thank God you didn't manage to post with huge letters, just don't do it.

I recently loaded up this game again, actually I wanted to find the DOS version but aparently the only one I have is for windows, and it doesn't have the digitized sound. What a rip! in XP it thinks it has to play in enhanced mode which apparently can't be turned off with any option I found, so it's a window aproximately 1/6 the size of my screen and silent.

Man, I need the dos version of this game.
