Omfg I remember battle chess! The memories of the queen shooting fireballs, or the rook turning the king into a pancake then picking it up and laughing! Oh... Is there a place to get that game for a modern pc!?
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Oldschool for a 15 year old? Final fantasy IX on the PS1. Played the hell out of it, and still listen to the music.

Can't think of any game i played before that....

Well, i had a gameboy colour. Infact, i still have it.

First game was probally pokémon, but didn't like that.



oh shit totally forgot about shivering isles.
that was a place i actually felt compelled to explore unlike vanilla where every dungeon is essentially the same

back on topic though

Road Rash

Yes you can! You need:
- Dosbox (A ms-dos emulator, work 100% on windows) It's a virtual ms-dos machine.
- Abandonware pages (a lot)

I don't know at this moment where you can find battle chess, but i'm sure that googling 5 minuts, you find it.

You can get Battle Chess on GOG.com for $5.99.  They say it's Windows compatible but I bet it still needs DosBox.  They've got tons of other classics on there too like Crusader: No Remorse and the Castles games.

This is not the original version of battle chess. It's just a remake. You can download battle chess for free on abandonware pages ;-) For example on:

There is one which I can't remember it's name, but you played with a wizard in a castle and it was a sidescroll. It wasn't an easy game.

God, thinking of all these games brings back a lot of memories. They also made me think of arcades which I haunted back in the day. Here is my top 3 arcade games of all time:

Golden Axe: This game was revolutionary for 1989.

(click to show/hide)

Dungeons & Dragons Tower of Doom: One of the first arcade games with an inventory and the ability to make choices of where you go. It was pretty in-depth.

(click to show/hide)

Aliens vs Predator: The 1994 arcade version. The best side-scrolling fighting game ever. If you think otherwise, you are wrong.
