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.

Love it! Played it a ton way back when!

I loved Battle Chess. What kind of hardware did people play it on back then?

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.

Holy. Haven't thought about that game in years. Fond memories!
