Death Chess 5000

1983 1 Players 70% Not Rated

You thought Chess was a civilized, relaxing game but 'what´s this?' I hear your cry. 'Death Chess 5000' is nothing of the sort. You may think that this appears to be like any other chess, but wait, 'what´s going on?' your trying to take a piece and look, the screens changed. You´re on a battlefield, bombs are being dropped from a helicopter 'slow down or you´ll get hit' ... 'quick into the city where you´ll be safe'. All that just to take a pawn. It´s more difficult to take pieces now, your queen has been lost in a space battle and you only just managed to climb a castle under the falling barrels of a rook.਍ഀ You can see now why this is no ordinary Chess game!਍ഀ
