  1. 1. Battle Chess

    1988 · Interplay Productions, Inc. · Strategy / tactics

    3.2No ratings yet

    Battle Chess is a quite typical chess game, but it comes with a twist: all pieces are represented by small, realistic figures that walk around on the chessboard, and when one piece takes another, they both take part in an animated battle.

  2. 2. Battle Chess 4000

    1992 · Interplay Productions, Inc. · Strategy / tactics

    3.2No ratings yet

    The Battle Chess series took the basic game of chess and added animations for each battle between pieces, bringing the game to a wider audience, with no intention of providing something for Kasparov to spar with.
