Love to see Battlechess come back! Ah the kiss of death from the Queenie.Just a shame they never decided to rerelease something like battlechess which was on the amiga. You could even play it in 2D mode if you wanted a quick game of chess. Have wifi makes the game a little better but its nothing that hasn't been done before.
Chess is nice but they could have at least mixed it up a bit & did something like Rooks Revenge.
Rooks Revenge Description:
Its chess... with a difference. No more taking turns. No more sighing as you wait for the other
player to think... Rook's Revenge has you making moves as fast as you can manage - and in this
game, its survival of the fastest as you play chess in real time!
In Polish, and I guess that in other Eastern-European languages as well, the word "szach" (the sz being pronounced as the English sh in "shot", and the ch being pronouned as a glottal "h", think heavy russian accents and the word "hard") is the equivalent of the term "check" used in chess.
That is actually interesting to me for some reason.
This is why I welcome multi culture.
