Amiga Games & Multitasking - original Battle Chess

"Chess used to be a nice intellectual game... what've you done?"

Battle Chess starts around 4:15.

Awesome.

Also, multi-tasking built in from the go.

I actually found myself more interested in Menace. That guy playing it was... really good. It took me three weeks to be able to pull off anything like than in Ikaruga, and not with nearly the same smooth confidence, and I've been playing video games intermittently since I was six, and regularly for the last four years. Quite impressive indeed, if it wasn't just a demo for the purposes of video recording.

"It's full overscan, which means it uses the whole screen"

Huh, I've been playing since 1983 on a humble 48K ZX Spectrum, but I never came across a case of a game not using the full screen... odd.

But Ahhh, Battlechess, loved it, used to play it on the ol' PC desktop But argh, was it really that slow? I don't remember the animation being thhhhaaaaattt slow, man that really was painful.
