-
- 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
-
-
- After you are familiar with the extraordinary game you now have,
- you may be interested in other INTERPLAY PRODUCTIONS software.
- Please read on.

- 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
