Game #12: Battle Chess (1990)

I’m going to make this one quick. Battle Chess is a turd of a game. It’s so horrendously slow and clunky that it could bore even the most easily entertained. Archon came out the year before and bested it in literally every way possible. The gameplay is teeth-gnashingly tedious at its best and bore-coma inducing at worst. The complete absence of music really drives home the point that this game didn’t need to be made at all. It’s almost like Interplay was making a desperate ploy to get out of some kind of backroom Nintendo contract, much like Aphex Twin did when he released “26 Mixes for Cash.” Don’t be fooled by the cool box art. Never play this, ever.
