Here’s Another Sheet Of The Sprite Variety

Since nobody has ripped a sprite sheet of font used in Battle Chess 4000, I decided to do it myself. Here’s the sheet that I’ve ripped:

It’s already in the Spriters Resource website after its approval, and now I must get back to doing my things before the evening is up. See you later, alligators!

BATTLE CHESS IN SPAAAAAAAACE!!!

by Alxala

I decided to torture myself with some Battle Chess 4000, which is a board game where the standard chess pieces have been replaced by alien creatures and space humans on a giant chessboard inside a space station. Here’s what the gameplay looks like:

The game features an opening library of 300,000 moves and SVGA graphics. For example, this is a Ruy Lopez opening.

Just like any other chess game, the objective is to checkmate your opponent’s king before they do the same thing to yours.

For instance, I managed to beat the computer player by capturing his King with my Rook after checkmating him.

This is a really fun intergalactic chess game, and what I like about it are the awesome battle animations and certain features like rewinding or fast forwarding to any played turn. There’s also a feature where the player can take back a move every time they make a mistake. But yeah, I enjoyed playing it. 🙂
