Battle Chess (MS-DOS) - Gameplay

- This is a chess game programmed by Interplay in 1988. It would be a chess game like many others, except that the pieces actually fight to the death when you capture them! Note that I'm not actually trying to win this match against the CPU, I am trying to show as many fights as possible. In the end, in fact, I lose, while it's not hard to win, this AI is quite rudimentary.
Note that it's not easy to emulate this game properly, the audio always tends to be either too fast or too slow. I think I managed to obtain a reasonable speed. - Ігри
Started playing chess again because of The Queen's Gambit, but when I was six this game made chess seem like the coolest thing ever.
Same!
Same! And when the opponent queen moved... real chills back then
Damn Josh, same here, exactly 6 too, what year did this come out? I remember playing it in 90' or 91' for the first time

2002-03
My father had this game installed in his computer when I was a kid. I was so bad at the game but liked to play just to watch the animations.
This, Prince Of Persia for the Apple II and Dragon Warrior were my childhood. Nostalgia aquired!
My father and I used to play this every so often when i was young. Good times
Ahh memories . Thanks . I had this on floppy disk.
haven't thought of this in about 33 years... and here we are
I played this game more than 10 years ago. I'm happy to see it again. It reminds me of my childhood.
I played it throughout 1995-1996!
feelings from the past. I'm 40. The AI was meh, but the animations were a blast
this was my favorite dos game growing up until my brother accidentally deleted it. I've never forgotten, and this is the first time in years of searching I found gameplay. you made my covd 2020
That game actually terrorized me as a kid 😅
Those freaking yelling sound effects...
The animation of this game is epic! The sound too!
If you play it on Steam you'll realize this game is painfully slow.
OMG AFTER YEARS I FINNALLY FOUND IT
I remember being a kid playing this and thinking that the each piece had an equal chance of winning in the fight animations. 😅
You must love Fire Emblem then
Yeah haha
Finally I found the 90s computer chess game video! Good memories!
I loved playing this! the animations were hilarious.
I remember playing this game without a clue as to how chess is played. Just to see the homies get cut down lol
Me too
Me three
This brings back childhood memories.
This is how I got into chess actually.
I actually learned how to play chess with this game. Great memories!
My brother had this game and he made copies on diskettes. It was amazing. When the Queen did her thing. The animation was ahead of it's time.
I used to have this on my family pc back in 1991, man, the memories....
You made me remember better times.
You drink a whisky drink and a lager drink first?
Wow, i Played this in 1993, and the ski game with the bear in it, and the alley cat if imnot mistaken, everything was simpler back then
Yes!! I f*ckin' love it when took attacks rook!! This takes me back 30 years, thanks for uploading this little piece of my childhood.
I used to play this on break at school in the 90's, good times :)
I have so many memories of playing this as a little boy, along with a ton of other games from around that time
I wasn’t sure if I played this game till I saw the castle get up and walk around at 2 minutes. YUP. This for sure taught me chess.
This was the first "violent" game I remember playing; about the time my family got a Win95, my Dad drug his old college computer out of the basement for my brother and me.
This brought back great memories playing this with my Dad. Thank you.
I googled "That chess game in the 90s with animations" and I was sent here. Google is awesome.
Don’t forget the Star Wars version
Same here 🤣, just saw this in a Netflix Docu and had a childhood flashback. Had absolutely forgotten about it, but now clearly remember playing it and even some of the animations. Had to find out how it was named and googled "90s animated Chess Computer Game" 🤣
I googled "old animated chess"
I googled "battle chess"
I mean morally speaking Google is very very far from awesome
I really miss that.. l used to play that.. during those years, it shape my Chess game.. thanks for sharing this, a real nostalgic 👍👍
Ahhh, this is where it alll begun for me. For me, the most satisfying death was the Rook devouring the Queen.
Oh those battle animations were so cool :D
The sound quality almost sounds like those ear rape memes every time something wacky happens.
Thank you so much for bringing back good memories
4th grade memories here…The rook eating the taken space/piece was my favorite
Whew, felt deja vu. Time travel, back to childhood. Some of Happyest days of life. ❤ This was true masterpiece, I wish someone would make something like this with these modern effects.
best chess game ever
I always remember the rook in this game was awesome to watch, this was where I first learned chess from
I remember when this was cutting edge. Bloody hell do I feel old.
Do you feel old and useless like I do or do you just feel old?
Wer ist auch wegen der 18. Harry Podcast Folge von Coldmirror hier? 😂
Ich. Frohe Weihnachten
@@borikidor Hi, dir auch! Danke dir! 😊
Hallo😂😂 ich find dir Idee mega und hab überlegt ob man des irgendwo kaufen kann deswegen bin ich hier😂😂
Aber die Königinen bei 4:48 umarmen sich gar nicht 😂
Die idee ist doch nicht neu
This is the legend chess game. It looks still good animation.
Finally found the childhood... This was the best, I can watch this all day long... Deja Vu!
This game was Wizard's Chess before the Harry Potter books existed...
this game needs a remake
I agree!
Yes. I would buy it.
Played the old version quite a bit.
It does!
They have made remake
@@gianis666 What's the name?
I remember being a kid in the 90s and laughing like an idiot everytime the king got stripped lol.
I also remember my shitty Tandy taking forever to animate the moves.
Omg i have been looking for this game for over 15 plus years omg the memories such great game this is how I learned to play chess
shay allen I saw it at a Radio Shack, and HAD to buy it....
Sick Only wait you saw this game? This actual game at radio shack? Recently!?! dont get me hype!!
shay allen No, lol....I bought it at Radio Shack when the game first came out, in the late 80's
I would say I want this as app but adds and microtrasactions would ruin it.
Yeah kids, this is not a x0.5 speed video.
This was the actual game speed back in my childhood
lol i looked up checker and chess games back in the day but only found a couple basic ones
I played it so many times just for the death fights
Same. My parents thought I was smart for teaching myself chess as a kid, when it was totally by accident while trying to see all the fun kill animations.
Same here & this game is so Excellent & Awesome
This is not just a game!
Gosh, this travels way back!
I used to play this game around 2007-2010.This was one of my first games along with need for speed II SE , Wolfenstein, Mummy (2000),Mortal Kombat 4,Prince 1, Dangerous Dave 1 & 2 .
Wow, that was quick... lol
I found out why. It's dependent on the version of the game. The 1988 version was blue and black, and the 1989 version was green and black. I have no clue where the floppy for this game is, so I had to download it from the net. I downloaded the 1989 version, apparently. I did find the 1988 version, though. I wish I could find those floppies... had some really cool games and software.
Thanks anyways!
When I was kid i use to play this game. And one time I had checkmate the computer. No one believed me but that was my happy date in history😍
Lots of sweet childhood memories with this game💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
@gentilguy I wasn't actually trying to win this game, I wanted to show as many captures as possible since that's the best part of Battle Chess, see how I make my moves in a few seconds instead of thinking about them :)
However, I didn't know about that, so thank you for the advice, I'll keep that in mind :)
I like the way you played it with all the best animations and pieces being removed from the game
The most beautiful fight is missing: horse against horse!
Oh wow - this is what it looked like? I could have sworn that the graphics were sharp with smooth animations, isn't it crazy what your memory (in combination with imagination) does?
Omg I LOVED this game. I so wish they would make it so I could play it now. I loved killing off each of the players w all the diff pieces, since they all killed each other differently. Such an awesome game. Way beyond it’s time.
You can play it now, just look for dosbox :)
I will definitely check that out. I had searched all over for this game & no one ever knew what I was talking abt when I’d ask if they remembered it. Now to finally find it AND find out I can play it again 😍😍😍. It always made me laugh when the king would just pull a gun out and bust a cap 😂. Now 30 years later, it still cracks me up. Thank u for uploading this. Brought back so many memories ❤️👏🏻👍🏻
I'm glad that you liked it :)
To be clear, dosbox is kind of an emulator of old systems, you still need to load a copy of the game into dosbox to play it, but I can't give you more directions here, I hope you can understand
I used to play this in elementary school.
THANK YOU
I've been looking for this for soooooo LONG
I remember playing this as a kid, good memories.
Brings back my childhood.
Wow that really takes me back
same bruh
I actually played this so long ago...
Best game ever..loved playing this
Trip down the memory lane. Awesome!
I was 13 and played this game in monochrome monitor.
Thanks for posting. Great memories
Thank you for watching!
I remember playing this as a kid! Had a lot of fun. Good memories
Holy shit! I still remember some of the fighting aninimations... I haven't seen this game in 18 years!
Me too, it was amaizing when i was a kid
Such nice memories! I never forgot the rook in this game. Thanks for sharing :D
Everybody is gangstar until 8:53
Man this brings back some memories!
Death screams sure were scary...
this is my childhood. this brings back good memories.
It's the first ever video game I played myself and really loved it. I was fascinated by the animations. When I found out about the multiplayer mode it became a passion to try and get every possible animation, the check mates being the most interesting since you could only get one per game. Amazing hours of fun !
RIP headphone wearers...
When the King pulls out the Magnum .44 zapper!
That's his sceptre
@@TheInkPitOx8:54 Sceptres dont fucking shoot
Loved the Battle Moves, Great early game on IBM/PC.
Omg I vaguely remember this. The death scenes gave me a bit of a nightmare.
haha, same. as a kid this was very intimitating...
This game scared me when I was little.
@@Pargali_Ibonun_gitarist_kuzeni Not the game scared me but when i played it, i was by my Aunt's Daughter at evening. The Game Ssound and the Sound of the old PC Tower scares me a little bit. It was not the Game it was more the atmosphere in the dark Room!
Damn i miss this...
That purple king will have a rockin' time after the match. ;)
Like a pride of lions they are.
I love this game! I used to play it all the time when I was a kid.
Yes, I was using DosBox, but I don't really remember how many cycles I used. I remember it was extremely hard to get it to play at the right speed, though.
Any better now?
What do you mean?
Daaaamn , i was 7-8 at that time
The 80s FATALITY !!!
Jacopo Cevenini Lmfaoo I bet mortal Kombat got their inspiration from here haha
Thanks for posting this. I was looking for what the original looked like on DOS. I have the GOG version and the graphics are different. For some reason they made the red pieces pink colored which is terrible. They added sound effects, but they are all out of sync now too. The board looks a little better in that version though. I think I'll have to find the original on an abandonware site now.
Edit: Haha. Mystery solved. This is the EGA version.
nostalgia trip
When I was 9, my father has shown me this PC Game.
I played this approx between 1992-1995. Excellent. Also Face Off (Ice Hockey) was good.
Anyone else used to just move them around to watch them die?
My dad did all the possible death, it was so funny when I was a kid.
The sound effects 😂😂😂😂
What about those?
@@sulosky are funny 😂
Super primitive. It might have sounded better on more advanced systems. 🤔
That knight just severed the bishop's head.. Brutal!
Why don't we have an awesome chess game like this with modern graphics!?
there is one with high quality graphics
@@cocvava-jp7nzname?
I've just stumbled across this, first PC game I played. How would I get this in 2021? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Wow i missed this game
Such memorie
0:25 lol i was sleepy then the sound came in
The sounds back then made me get scared of this
they were so loud and they sounded like were actually suffering. this is like a game for a parent, who maybe does not actually want his kids to learn chess because they are thinking how the pawns are suffering, teaches his squeamish kid to play.
old school.
I just heard about this in an interview with the developer (Rebecca Heineman) and thought it sounded familiar! My father showed me this when I was... 4 years old, I'd guess. :)
I miss this game
