Found this while going through old stuff. I'm terrible at chess, but I would play expecting to lose just to watch the animations. (lemmy.world)

It was like my own Millennium Falcon holo-chess, except, you know, not that cool.

My brother and I would set the other up just so we could see new cut scenes!

Pawns don't often take queens and kings without a little help.

Think of all the effort you spent when you could have just waited 36 years to watch a video compilation instead.

It doesn't seem to say, but I think that's the MS-DOS version.

I don't know if they ever made a color Mac version. I definitely don't remember if that one was in color because I eventually got the MS-DOS version and I can't remember if they were the same.

But this is a video I can find for the Mac version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StKlUtx5tHg

Weirdly, there was a color version for the Apple IIgs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXnAcUAN0W4

Every version was different. This is the Amiga version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADcEI84wMX0
