Description of The Software Toolworks’ Star Wars Chess

Star Wars Chess is a lackluster animated chess game similar to Interplay’s Battle Chess. The SEGA CD version of the game, released a year later, is better known and better-sold than this rare PC version.

Each traditional chess piece (king, rook, pawn, and so on) is represented by a character from the Star Wars movies. In addition, when one piece captures another, the game zooms in to the board, and you are treated to a small battle animation. If you don’t know how to play chess, don’t expect Star Wars Chess to teach you. Not too worry, though— the AI in the game is pretty bad, which more than makes up for the lack of tutorial mode.

The chess pieces are represented as follows:

• Kings — Luke Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine
• Queens — Princess Leia and Darth Vader
• Bishops — C-3PO and Boba Fett (Chewbacca sets Boba Fett on fire)
• Knights — Chewbacca and Tusken raider
• Rooks — Yoda and AT-ST
• Pawns — R2-D2 and stormtrooper

If you get tired of playing with Star Wars characters, you can switch to a 2D mode with traditional pieces. As the review at Videogames.com makes clear: «. [when] it comes down to it, chess is chess, no matter what the pieces look like or what fancy animation accompanies it. But chess fans and Star Wars fans alike will probably be turned off by the awkward perspective of the chess board and the long load times that bog down gameplay. The animations themselves are rather violent and sort of creepy [e.g. R2-D2 gives Darth Vader laser shocks, Chewbacca sets Boba Fett on fire, etc], but if you turn them off, all you are left with is a slow, bare-bones computer chess game. A good alternative is to turn off the game altogether.»

Recommended only to fill up the collection of die-hard Star Wars fans who must own every Star Wars-related game on the planet (I’m looking at you here Sytass ;)).

Star Wars Chess

DOS game, 1993

Star Wars is definitely one the most successful film saga in history, so no wonder it has inspired a number of computer games. The main genre of these games is mainly action, simulation and adventure, but in 1993 Software Toolworks created an unconventional Star Wars game: Star Wars Chess. As the name suggests, this is a chess where the figures are portrayed by a various characters from Star Wars. In total, there are 12 different characters available, that represent individual chess pieces. The rebels formed the white pieces: Luke and Leia, of course, as the King and Queen, C3PO is a bishop, Chewbaca Knight, Yoda is Rook and R2D2 portrays Pawn. Black pieces are characters of the Empire — Darth Vader is a Queen, Palpatine (Darth Sidious) portrays King, Boba Fett is a bishop, Tusken Raider is a Knight, chicken walker (AT-ST) as Rook and the Stormtroopers portray pawns. The game is very similar to the better known Battle Chess, fights are processed very similarly: the characters step away and look at effective combat with nice animation.

Star Wars Chess

Install Game

Ini nyone who plays chess can enjoy this game. It is a standard chess game, with the Star Wars characters as the game pieces. There are lots of options to play with and the computer has five difficulty levels. You can choose to be either the rebion or the Empire depending on which makes you feel friskier. No side has an advantage over the other but each character has a different kill animation for the other characters. Watch as Yoda fries Boba Fett or as the

Emperor sizzles Princess Leia. Thtere is a two-player feature for action with your friends.

THE GOOD

Most of the animations of pieces killing pieces are extremely funny.

THE BAD

Once you’ve seen the animations, the fun is over. Plus, this rather tame game is rated MA-13.

THE UGLY

Emperor Palpatine is King and Darth Vader is Queen. That makes me sick just thinking about it.

Star Wars Chess, also known by its full title The Software Toolworks’ Star Wars Chess, is a 1993 PC and Sega CD chess video game.

Opening crawl [ edit | edit source ]

Gameplay [ edit | edit source ]

The game is heavily inspired by Battle Chess, a popular PC chess game of the era. The characters appear in the places of normal chessmen on an isometric view of a Star-Wars-themed chessboard, with the black pieces portrayed by «The Dark Side» (Empire-affiliated and antagonistic characters) and the white pieces portrayed by «The Rebel Force» (Rebellion-affiliated characters.) The rules of normal chess apply.

When one piece captures another in a chess move, the screen fades to a brief animated battle in which the capturing piece vanquishes the captured one, in an over-the-top cartoonishly-animated style.

The game can also be played in standard computer-chess mode, with normal chessmen icons on a 2D board, without the battle animations.

Chessmen [ edit | edit source ]

The characters portray their chessmen as follows:

The Dark Side [ edit | edit source ]

• Queen — Princess Leia
• Bishops — C-3PO
• Rooks — Yoda
• Knights — Chewbacca
