All I ask is minimal assistance from you during the troubleshooting process. The Game A battle has begun. The sly Red Bishop reaches into his sleeve and pulls out a toy and offers it to his opponent, the Blue Queen. Unimpressed, the Queen just looks at him with a slightly impatient expression. This does not deter the Bishop, for he reaches into his other sleeve and pulls out a bouquet of flowers, which he hands to her. The Queen is quite happy now and reacts accordingly. But something is wrong! The flowers emit a toxic gas and the queen falls over dead. The Bishop shuffles around, and his staff materializes out of nowhere into his hands. The body of the deceased Queen is nowhere to be found, and where there were two combatants on the square, now it is occupied by only one, the Red Bishop. Such was the original Battle Chess. Ever since Star Wars hit the movies in 1977 people wanted a game of chess where the pieces actually engaged in combat. While holographic boards are still years off, Battle Chess attempted to fill that niche back in 1988. While the Battle Chess franchise is, at its core, a by the book chess game (each version includes a 2D non-animated option) it is the three-dimensional action view that makes the series unique and the first Battle Chess a milestone. In the 3D view you move your pieces and then watch them walk to their new location. Pawns step boldly forward while queens sashay across the screen. Every time you take or lose a piece, the game pieces battle it out in the action sequences which are the game’s trademark. Knights slash opponents with their swords, rooks made of stone pound with their mighty fists, and pawns use spears to defeat the enemy. While this seems like standard fare today it was revolutionary in 1988. Battle Chess broke the mold of static computer chess games, giving it life and color. The animations have a friendly, cartoon-like feel. Many of the “deaths” are slapstick. Some, such as the knight beheading the bishop, are more graphic, but there is no spilling blood or gore. When a battle is forthcoming both pieces move around the square, the winner occupying the top corner, while the loser is banished to the lower corner. There are several different battle animations, so I’ll just describe a few. When the Rook has to kill the Queen, she will frantically cast magic spells, to no effect, the Rook will eat the Queen, spitting out her crown. A Knight slices up the pawn with such enthusiasm and enjoyment. If you are after a quick game of chess, don’t worry, because you can turn the battle animations off, but then you might as well just play with a good old-fashioned Chess Board. The imagery works exceptionally well in the original Battle Chess. The pawns are small-framed foot soldiers, and they carry a spear with some hesitation, but can you blame them? The Rook is a stone tower who transmogrifies into a stone giant when he moves. The Knight has shiny armor with a sword and shield combo, and strides with pride around the board in his usual L-shape patterns. The robes of the Bishop will brush the ground as he walks, an evil expression on his face. The Queen has long robes, and quite an interesting figure for a graphic sprite, giving you the impression that she is the most powerful piece on the board. Lastly, the King is a short old man, probably in need of retirement in Florida. Battle Chess offers 10 levels of play, with the level determining how long the computer thinks about its move. On Level 1 the computer takes 5 seconds to move, while on Level 9 it takes 20 minutes. The longer the game takes to think, the more careful its strategy is, and the harder it is for you to beat. Keep in mind today’s computers can do much more processing in 5 seconds than when Battle Chess was released. This makes even Level 1 play very challenging. I consider myself an average chess player, but Level 1 beat me repeatedly, and even the Novice level gave me a challenge, with the computer making no obvious bad moves. It is pretty humbling to be repeatedly trounced by an supposedly obsolete chess engine. Battle Chess was by far the most original chess game of its time. It took the Star Wars generation, myself included, by storm. This was the first game to transform chess from a cerebral exercise into an overtly visual escapade. Although not as powerful as today’s generation of chess games, Battle Chess has a formidable engine. The Battle Chess series combined great comedy, entertaining graphics, and a serious chess game without compromising anything along the way. It can be played for laughs or played for real. It can satisfy the kid or the Grand Master in all of us. Interesting Battle Chess trivia, as paraphrased from my favorite classic gaming website MobyGames. 1. The game actually features full frontal nudity. In some circumstances where Rook gets the King in checkmate, as the King trembles his robe falls off, leaving him completely exposed before he runs off in embarrassment. The Emperor’s new clothes indeed. 2. This was the one of two of the first games Interplay published under its own name (the other being Neuromancer). 3.. In the 1993 movie “Knight Moves” Christopher Lambert plays a chessmaster, with a the plot that involves a killer motivated by chess. In any case, about about 20 minutes in, while detectives are working the crime, there is a scene with Lambert playing Battle Chess. He was watching a knight takes pawn battle. Pretty neat. 4. The battle of knight vs. knight depicts a classic scene from Monty Python’s “Quest for the Holy Grail”: One by one, all limbs are severed, each time provoking the victim into the same kind of responsive actions the Black Knight made in the classic movie. Just a flesh wound… 5. Battle Chess is a member of Computer Gaming World Magazine’s Hall of Fame. Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.

Battle Chess 4000 In this version of the grand old classic, a Grand Master (the player) has been transported to the year 4000 and deposited on a space station in earth orbit. Within the station is an arena housing a huge, translucent chessboard. On the board is a strange collection of characters. Gone are the standard inanimate medieval icons. In their place is a cast of characters right out of a Buck Rogers novel, each outfitted in a strange and unique manner, equipped with strange and unique weapons, and harboring a strange and unique sense of humor. Instead of pawns, there are alien worms; bishops have been replaced by mad scientists with infectious cackles; knights have become spaceship captains, and rooks have been transformed into something akin to a BattleMech. The humanoid King and Queen are almost ordinary by comparison, but their repertoire of weapons and skills are anything but ordinary. In this game, there’s none of that pawn-takes-pawn stuff. Pieces aren’t just captured — they’re vacuumed, blasted, melted, hypnotized, tricked and hugged to death. This is cartoon violence where the characters deliver punchy facial expressions and sound effects with an uncanny sense of timing. Equally interesting is the unorthodox method of setting skill levels. Program strength is not simply determined by a preset scale, but divided into Weak and Strong categories and controlled by independent variables. Selecting Weak opposition brings up a menu of 10 levels, from beginner to intermediate. Choosing Strong brings up an advanced level with five time-control options, each with its own unique degree of difficult. Of the five, Tournament is the strongest and most aggressive level. In this setting, the program actually manages time according to the difficulty of the position, spending less time in obvious situations and saving it for complex positions and endgame play. All of this adds up to a killer program, one that easily justified Interplay’s claim of a 2000 rating – a Candidate Master class, under the USCF system. Battle Chess 4000 transformed chess from a stuffy, intellectual exercise into a game that is fun to play. It combines great comedy, superb graphics, and a serious chess game without compromising anything along the way. It can be played for laughs or played for real. It can satisfy the kid or the Grand Master in all of us be it 1992 or today.

In the extremely rare event I cannot get this title to work on your system I will take it back for a full refund. All I ask is minimal assistance from you during the troubleshooting process. The Game Realms of the Haunting walks the fine line between action and adventure as elegantly as any game I’ve seen, blending healthy doses of first- person shooter action with puzzles that are skillfully woven into a plot that unfolds at just the right pace. The game is set in England, present day. You play Adam Randall, a young man who has been plagued by nightmares of an evil house ever since his father passed away some six months before. A few weeks after his father’s death, Adam was visited by a priest named Elias Camber, who informed him that his father – who was a pastor – had sent him a series of letters before his death concerning some disturbing events taking place at a house in his parish; he also sent Camber a box containing stone fragments which Adam senses have some sort of power. The mystery intensifies when Adam does a little research and discovers there is no priest named Elias Camber, and when his dreams become even more disturbing he finally decides to journey to the house and try to sort out just what’s going on. As you begin play, you’ve just entered the house – and because the doors have locked behind you there’s no turning back. It may take some players a little practice to get used to the smoothly scrolling, first-person interface because you must “steer” with one hand and aim with another (you can move using just the mouse, but I don’t recommend it). After you’ve grabbed a pistol and a few clips of ammo, you’re ready to start laying waste to some supernatural baddies – just because they’re dead doesn’t mean they’re immune to lead! But don’t think this is merely a shoot-‘em-up with an occult twist: You’ve got to use the objects you find to reveal new areas of the house and uncover new details of the mystery. Before long, you discover the reason you felt compelled to make the journey to the house: Your father’s spirit is imprisoned here, and only you have the power to free his soul from torment. But once you begin searching for clues that might shed light on how you can help your father, you slowly begin to suspect that there’s a lot more at stake here than the soul of a parish priest. Freemasons, the Knights Templars, secret occult orders, crop circles – all the fave topics of conspiracy/occult fans crop up as the game progresses, keeping you constantly striving to learn more about what terrible evils were committed in the house and why it appears that you’re the only one who can set things right. An especially nice touch is adjustable difficulty levels for both the arcade action and adventure portions of the game. Choose hard for puzzles, and you must choose the appropriate item from your inventory to use in a given situation; choose easy, and the object’s automatically placed in your hand. And because you can set the arcade sequences – i.e., fighting demons and creatures – on any of four difficulty levels, even someone who can’t hold their own at CoD will get to revel in the joy of gunplay. The 3D-modeled creatures you encounter are a tour de force, brought to life with motion capture technology amazingly smooth for the time.The musical score, too, is first-rate, always serving to create atmosphere but never drawing attention to itself. In short, Realms of the Haunting is one of the best horror-adventures ever created.

The Game Tanks! is a turn-based tactical wargame played out on a standard hex map at the scale of approximately 250 meters per hex diameter. The playing pieces are represented by colorful icons resembling boardgame cardboard cutouts (“counters”, for the experienced wargamer), so those with even a passing familiarization with wargames will feel comfortable with the format of play. The mechanized forces of several time periods, from the Great War to the Gulf War are offered to the player to test his tactical mettle. The package comes bundled with several pre-built scenarios, but where Tanks! earns its title as a “Wargaming Construction Set” is in its ability to create random scenarios, and in the Editor, where the creative and inspired player may use the tools at his command to paint truly endless varieties of situations and conflicts. Gameplay, like the rest of the package, is a painless affair. The system is, point to the guy you want to move or fire, then point where you want it to go, or what you want it to fire at. The faster units can go further in a single turn. The weapons with the higher rate-of-fire may shoot more rounds per turn. It is intuitive, and it works. Many of the more subtle elements of wargaming are represented here as well. Units may only use direct fire at enemy units in the field-of-view. Indirect fire units (such as mortars) may only fire at enemy units which have been “spotted” by friendly units (and just because you can SEE an enemy, doesn’t mean that he is SPOTTED – an important difference that quickly becomes clear.) Field-of- view is calculated on a true slope, unlike similar systems such as that in ‘The Perfect General’. This allows for the use of such tactics as hugging the bottom of a hill to hide from units on the top. Each unit is rated with three numbers for morale, supply, and control. The higher a unit’s morale, the more likely it is to hit what it’s aiming at. The higher a unit’s supply, the more likely it is to get more ammo by staying put. The control number has somewhat more involved consequences, but in general, the rule is: the lower the control number, the lower the chance that the unit may “spot” enemy units for indirect fire missions, and the higher the chance for the unit going into “reorganization”. While a unit is in reorganization, it cannot be given orders. Again, all of these rules are easily absorbed after only a few sessions of play. Creating random scenarios is as easy as picking forces for each side, and specifying a few parameters for the map-creating algorithm (such as the relative frequency of hills, roads, cities, etc.) Forces from different time periods CAN be mixed, so you might have modern day Americans seeking revenge on the Waffen SS of 1941 (needless to say, the Nazis don’t fare too well in this situation.) The maps that are created can be remarkably well “thought out”, so much so that one user actually accused the program of picking from several pre-determined maps bundled with the game. The game also attempts to balance out the forces you’ve picked for it, so if one picks “equal” sizes for the above scenario, the SS is going to have a lot more units to work with than the Desert Storm veterans. The Editor is broken down into two parts; the map builder, and the OOB (Order of Battle) builder. Each does what its name implies. The map building feature is similar to any popular paint program, except instead of blues and greens, one paints hills and trees. An “auto-contouring” feature facilitates the matter of smoothing out rough edges, and makes creation of unusually shaped mountains and lakes a snap. Editing OOB’s is a matter of deciding what units you want available for each side, and where you want them to start. The user is also encouraged to provide “hints” for the programmed opponent (the designer, Norm Koger, frowns strongly on the use of the term “AI”) by specifying secondary and primary objectives for each side’s forces, and by giving generalized orders to each formation in the game (such as “defend” and “hunt”). The Editor includes the ability to create random maps and OOB’s independently, in case you haven’t the patience or desire to build both manually. The entire system works well as a whole, and as a “Construction Set”, Tanks! fulfills its obligations superbly. Tanks! is a wargame that I am continually drawn to, not only with the promise of education and enlightenment, but with the promise of good, clean, destructive fun. It is endlessly replayable, and unfailingly satisfying. Chris Crawford once said of his game ‘Patton Strikes Back’ that his purpose was to create the wargame for “the rest of us.” In Tanks!, Norm Koger has taken great strides toward creating the wargame for ALL of us.
