I hope this plays as well as it did on my Amiga. The animations were exceptional for the time.

AWSOME!! My dad used to play this a lot! I had so much fun watching the animations, and now i can finally practice on this classic!
The only bad thing is there's no sound x.x (using the suggested program for XP/Vista although im on 7) Any ideas on how to get some sound?

I can't seem to play them. It keeps saying that my computer doesn't support full screen mode. This is the second game I've downloaded with this computer. I hope my desktop works. Any suggestions?

My favorite animation is a knight takes knight move. Great 386x game, would play it just to see the 'executions'

Game works in DosBox, though there is no sound, and it's a little glitchy.
Overall it's a classic game and well worth the download to play again!!

used to play this on my old 486 using Windows 3.1. wow makes me want to dust off that old machine and play some of these old classics. Good thing it still works!
