Battle Chess is a typical chess game with a twist: all pieces are represented by small, realistic figures that walk around on the Commodore 64 chessboard, and when one piece takes another, they both participate in an animated battle. There is also a 2D mode without animation.
The game's opening library includes 30,000 different moves, ensuring a variety of games will unfold across the 10 skill levels.
Multi-player support can be extended to modem and/or serial port play.
