A fun thing about this game was that every possible kill combination had a different animation. If you don't have any other plans for the next 9 minutes of your life, you can watch them all here:

- u801e 7y agoIt looks like they had a problem with the king takes queen animation. This video [1] includes that animation. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YcRkzCvPHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YcRkzCvPHI
- CarVac 7y agoThe knight-takes-knight is a fun reference to the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- trianglem 7y agoWhat’s the problem?
- ElCapitanMarkla 7y agoI think it's censored... I remember playing this on our old Amiga 600 and I'm sure I remember that same pixelated wall when the king takes the queen.
- Fnoord 7y agoWell, if the queen would take the king, the queen was able to get the king basically naked. Which I suppose is some kind of problem in the USA. I played this game as a kid, and I loved the sounds and especially the visuals. It taught me chess, and it enforced me to explore how to beat the computer with different moves (because I wanted to see all the moves, or a specific move). So it was fun to explore.
- sxates 7y agoLoved playing this when I was a kid. I still have a memory of picking it out on the shelf of the computer store. The battle animations made chess a lot more interesting - one of the favorites: the knight v. knight homage to Monty Python, taking one limb off at a time. Merely a flesh wound!
