Interplay is working on a Battlechess remake. They are funding multiplayer through kickstarter, a new type of crowd based funding.

HAHA, you're toast!

I remember playing Battle Chess. My friends and I would set up various positions just to see the various animations where one particular type of piece captured another type of piece.

Too bad that it did not get funded. It would have been enjoyable to see a more modern version with better chess engines.

heh, Kickstarter ins't new. It's just that the gaming industry has only recently found it. :)

Why pay when I can see what I want for free?  http://youtu.be/iSnAiXKU7h8

Well, ideally, the new animations will look better than those ones are.

I seem to be having a flashback:

If it doesn't have Mongolian laser sharks then forget it.

I keep throwing money at my laptop and I still don't have this.

You have to use a credit card. Send me your #, security code and expiration date and I will hook you up I promise.

Poor friedmunchkin has no friends! And he hasn't played any games. Very reminiscent of ol' tippy.

Okay so I am now throwing my credit card at the computer and nothing is happening.

Bump.

I am now throwing el checko at my screen.  Hopefully it doesn't bounce.

Try throwing half dollar coins.
