| | Battle Chess in TutorGig Encyclopedia |
 | | 'Battle Chess' is a computer game version of chess released for the 3DO, PC, Apple II Commodore 64, Amiga, Amiga CDTV, CD32, Atari ST, Apple Macintosh, Acorn Archimedes and Nintendo Entertainment System in which the chess pieces came to life and battled one another when capturing. |
 | | The game itself was inspired by the 3D chess sequences from Star Wars and Future World, and helped launch Interplay as an independent computer game design house after it ended its relationship with Electronic Arts. |
 | | In turn, Battle Chess spawned a horde of imitators, but none matched the humorous animations of artists Todd Camasta and Bruce Schlickbernd, and were never as successful. |
