Since this, the original BATTLE CHESS swept the computerĪs our way of saying thanks, we are setting BATTLE CHESS loose What is perhaps the most intriguing style of chess play With the advent of BATTLE CHESS II(tm) last year, we launched and here's the text from the read me included. So, I downloaded it, and was surprised to see what's most likely the original DOS version (simpler colors, and PC speaker sound), with a note supposedly from Interplay announcing that this particular version was being given out as freeware due to the success of the original game, and how well the sequel was doing. A while back, I was looking around and found a site that had a version of BC listed as freeware. :ok: :w00t:Īnyway, I believe that a version of the DOS game is freeware. i have installed windows 3.1 however and it works fine with my yamaha s/card and Nvdia Geforce Chip. I have not had a chance to install battle chess so i am not sure if this will work. just start up the machine, install windows, and tri BC. then just download Microsoft Virtual Pc trial, or VMWARE, and you are set. to emulate win 3.1, you NEED a copy of it. If anyone knows of easy-to-use software that will emulate Windows 3.1 Standard Mode that would be good cause we can all get the sound up and running but otherwise I'd just enjoy the fantastic animations and get by without the sound.įirst off. Anyone know how to get into 'Standard Mode'?* (I have Linux but last time I installed it, it ended with me formatting my computer entirely so I'm steering clear of it for a while!)

Ironically, you can Emulate Windows 3.1 under Linux but as far as I can tell, not under Windows so I'll be settling for no sound. :DĮDIT: Been away and researched this some more. If anyone knows of easy-to-use software that will emulate Windows 3.1 Standard Mode that would be good cause we can all get the sound up and running but otherwise I'd just enjoy the fantastic animations and get by without the sound. Enhanced mode was for 80386 systems but at the time most people were using standard mode as it ran much quicker than enhanced mode - presumably why Interplay chose to leave the sound out of enhanced mode. Sorry to get technical but Standard mode was the way Windows 3.1 set up the memory for 80286 systems. I don't know of any software that runs under windows that will emulate windows 3.1. You would need a program to emulate Windows 3.1 or alternatively install Windows 3.1 on your computer, but that might be a bit excessive for the sake of a few sounds. Anyone know how to get into 'Standard Mode'?
