BATTLE CHESS
by
Interplay
With the advent of BATTLE CHESS II(tm) last year, we launched
what is perhaps the most intriguing style of chess play
since this, the original BATTLE CHESS swept the computer
gaming world in 1988.
As our way of saying thanks, we are setting BATTLE CHESS loose
upon the world as FREEware! Yes, that's right - FREEWARE.
Because BATTLE CHESS was such a success, it appears that its
successor, BATTLE CHESS II(tm) is following rapidly in its
footsteps. To celebrate that fact, you now have in your
possession one of the most sought after experiences in software;
a truly remarkable computer chess game that will challenge as well
as entertain and ASTOUND you!
This freeware version is unprotected, unlike the commercial
version. After installing the files in an appropriate directory,
just type CHESS at the DOS-prompt. When the introduction screen
appears, press any key and you will be presented with three
dialog boxes in sequence expecting some arcane chess knowledge.
Since it would be unfair for us to believe that a normal person
would actually have this trivia in their brain-boxes, we made
matters simple; just press return at each prompt.
It is highly recommended that you play using your mouse since
it is much easier (not to mention faster) to select your moves
by pointing and clicking. All game options can be selected from
the menu-bar across the top of the screen. Also, unless you
elect to play exclusively in the 2-dimensional mode it is further
suggested that the game be installed upon your hard drive. The
extensive use of animation in 3-d mode necessitates frequent disk
access. Accessing that from a floppy drive impedes enjoyment of
the game as well as being just plain slow and silly.
Feel free to distribute this software to any BBS you like. All
we ask in return is that you do not alter or remove this text
file (what you are now reading) in the process.
And now for something completely different.
A COMMERCIAL PLUG

If Elvira can own a castle, why can't you? After all,
computer gaming is a world built of dreams and fantasies.
INTERPLAY's recently released CASTLES(tm) enables you to build
the castle of your dreams. In addition to playing surveyor,
architect, and builder, you get to parry paranoia and persecute
the peasants (great for relieving boredom).
CASTLES' action takes place 700 years ago, predating pesky
present-day concerns like planning boards and building inspectors.
Indeed, if your neighbors objected to your castle, they leveled
it, scattered the workers, ripped you to pieces, and ate your
horses. When they got really angry, they did even meaner things
like making you bathe between rainstorms. Several historians
claim these murderous rampages had nothing to do with power,
gluttony, and greed but were incited by INTERPLAY PRODUCTIONS
release of BATTLE CHESS II(tm). We however, are of the opinion
that it really had something to do with our provocative and
competitive NFL PRO LEAGUE FOOTBALL game.
Castle building politics aside, if you are a serious gamer
looking for the best in computer games, INTERPLAY has what you
want. Just write or call us for information about our latest
offerings of superior game software at the address and telephone
