Description
The most challenging game on Earth comes to life in Battle Chess. An entire medieval world at war is reflected on the checkered field.

Everyone who's ever had a knight take a pawn, has seen that capture as more than one piece replacing another on the board. In players' minds, the bold knight, resplendent in his armor of silver or ebon, sallies forth and slays the foul foot soldier. Combat, mortal combat, lies in the heart and soul of chess, but this aspect of it could only live in the mind's eye – until now!

Exactly how I remember it

It's a chess game from 1988, with top-tier graphics for 1988. Slow, clunky and exactly how you expect it to be. 5/5 for nostalgia. Otherwise it doesn't warrant a rating, because it's just chess, but slower.

The brew of my nostalgia…

This one, Prince of Persia, and Lost Vikings, I remember as my first PC games. I called it, "magical chess." Other than that, it’s just that—a game with cinematics of how these ancient kings get beaten to a pulp, in pixels. Only on GOG can I awaken old ghosts from my past Christmases.
