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 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.

The program doesn't allow you to offer draws, and doesn't recognise the threefold repetition rule. That could annoy a real chess player.

Does anyone else remember the computer ALWAYS CHEATING. I could could never beat the computer because eventually when I had a good position, the computer would get fed up and move its queen not once, not twice, but thrice, sometimes in L-shaped formations like a knight, and THROUGH MY PIECES, and then KILL MY KING. She would hug him and then STAB HIM.

I always searched for a way to turn the cheating off but I never could.

It's a matter of interpretation. I always saw it as computer surrendering, because from what I recall it only happened if the situation became hopeless for the computer.

But I think that wasn't the PC battle chess.
