On: Battle Chess

I remember playing this as a kid. I barely knew how to play chess, but just loved the intricate animations when a kill happened.

I played Battle Chess 4000 back then.

That was on a 386 computer without sound card, but BC4000 could play digitized sound through the PC speaker! Amazing stuff.

Same. This game was incredibly difficult for me but I mostly played for the animations.

I actually learned how to play chess through trial and error with BattleChess on my dad's computer. If I'm doing the math right, I was 6 years old. My primary motivation was to see every permutation of piece encounters.

Me too. Loved it so much. Had to try every combination of pieces to see them all

Those were the days.
