![]() ![]() In 1994 Computer Gaming World said of the remake, Battle Chess Enhanced, that "Better artwork, smoother animations, and a much stronger chess algorithm than its disk predecessors make the CD version a good buy". In a review of the 3DO version, Mike Weigand of Electronic Gaming Monthly stated, "If you are a chess fan, then you may want to check this title out." German game magazine ASM, however, criticized the weak chess AI. The Amiga version received favourable reviews from magazines due to its comical battle sequences which were advanced (for the time) in terms of graphics, animation and sound. Andre reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Quibbles aside, every chess player will want a copy of this program, and every Amiga owner owes it to him/herself to see Battlechess in action. Reception īattle Chess sold 250,000 copies by February 1993. Come review, the producers, predictably, okayed everything but asked for the duck to be removed. To this end, one animator added a small duck around the queen piece, but made sure that the sprite would be easily removable. Īn apocryphal story of the development was the invention of "The Duck" (an example of Parkinson's law of triviality): The producers of the game were known to demand changes to the game, presumably to make their mark on the finished product. Battle Chess producer and Interplay's founder Brian Fargo expressed his fondness for the game in a 2006 interview, although he added that he did not think there would be much of an audience for it today. The game was featured in the 1992 film Knight Moves about a chess grandmaster who is accused of several murders. The game has an opening library of over 30,000 moves (which were not available for the Commodore 64 and Apple II versions).īattle Chess was the first title developed and published by Interplay Entertainment themselves after ending their relationship with Electronic Arts, besides Neuromancer. Digitized sound is utilized in the DOS version for all battle sound effects and is played through the PC speaker, without the need for a sound card, using a technique akin to RealSound.īattle Chess can be played against a human opponent (by hotseat, null modem or over a local area network in some ports) or against the computer's artificial intelligence (AI). The game can be also played in a 2D version with no animations, and the Amiga CDTV version features a fully voiced introduction describing the movements of the pieces for the benefit of beginners. There are some pop-culture homages the knight versus knight animation references the black knight fight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the king versus bishop fight pastiches the short battle between Indiana Jones and a swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark. ![]() The rook, for example, turns into a rock monster and kills a pawn by smashing its head, and the rook kills the queen by eating her. Since there are six types of pieces for each color, and a king cannot capture a king, there are a total of 35 different battle animations. Furthermore, when checkmate is delivered, the checkmating piece fights and defeats the king. Its remake, Battle Chess: Game of Kings, was released on Steam on December 11, 2015.īattle Chess follows the same rules as traditional chess, with pieces moving in an animated fashion and battles playing out so that the capturing piece defeats its target. In 1991, Battle Chess Enhanced was released by Interplay for the PC, featuring improved VGA graphics and a symphonic musical score that played from the CD-ROM.īattle Chess was critically acclaimed and commercially successful, resulting in two official follow-ups as well as several inspired games. It was originally developed and released by Interplay Entertainment for the Amiga in 1988 and subsequently on many other systems, including 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, Acorn Archimedes, Amiga CD32, Amiga CDTV, Apple IIGS, Apple IIe, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, FM Towns, NES, MacOS, NEC PC-9801, X68000 and Microsoft Windows.

![]() But this time, they left that tag up to fade away. ![]() “What was even more amazing was that, back then, the station cleaners were strict and tried to keep the walls graffiti-free. “People were walking by and saying, ‘Wow, I hope she sees this,’” she continues. “I stopped dead in my tracks and just stared at that wall – almost like I didn’t recognize my name. ![]() “I came up the train station stairs and saw this big tag on the station wall that said, ‘Eyvette, will you marry me, Love Cozmo,’” she recalls. She quickly realized Cozmo, who was a prolific graffiti writer at the time, had made the same trip earlier that day. In 1980, during her senior year at Manhattan’s Fashion Industry, Lady-E was getting off the C-Train at the Chauncy Street station in Brooklyn. We were kids but knew that we’d stumbled onto something undeniable that we wanted and needed.” The combination of that one party, and our talks and walks throughout that night, made us realize I had to let my boyfriend go and he had to let his girlfriend go. “A week later, he invited me to a house party where he was spinning. “I had my curly Afro working and pretending to smoke a Newport cigarette – even though I had never smoked a cig in my life, so there was lots of coughing involved,” she continues. I felt like a kid but I was trying to act like I was down, you know. They invited me to Coz’s 20th birthday party. “That’s the DJ crew Cozmo started with his cousins – one of who was Nique D. “Some of the girls on my block were MCs for Jam-On Productions,” Lady-E explains to HipHopDX. Not only did the two end up forming the Hip Hop group Newcleus with Nique D and The Late Chilly B but they also kicked off what is now a 39-year love affair. ![]() They were blissfully unaware of what fate had in store for them. Lady-E had just moved into the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, unknowingly two blocks away from Cozmo D’s grandmother’s house. ![]() ![]() Television broadcast signals are transmitted over two different frequencies: Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF), so it’s important that the antenna you end up buying supports either or both (ideally both). If they’re coming from different parts of town, a directional antenna won’t work well for you. Of course, a directional antenna will only work if the channels you want are all in one direction. Multi-directional antennas can also suffer from noise and interference coming from all directions, whereas a directional antenna can block all that out. Multi-directional antennas are more convenient, but have a significant downside: their range is usually much weaker than directional antennas, which can put all of their power toward gain a signal from a single direction. As you can guess, directional antennas grab a signal from a single direction, while multi-directional antennas can fetch signals coming from any direction. You’ll also want to consider whether the antenna you get is directional (also called uni-directional) or multi-directional (also called omni-directional). Outdoor antennas are almost always more reliable, though they take a bit more work to set up. For that, you’ll need an outdoor antenna, built to take the grunt that mother nature provides, and reach much farther. If some of the broadcast signals are farther away, though, an indoor antenna may not be powerful enough. Which type of antenna you purchase largely depends on the information that you gathered from above diagram, and different antennas are available depending on how far away you are from the broadcast signals. Channels in green are channels that you could get with a basic TV antenna, while channels highlighted in yellow and red will need a more powerful antenna and strategic placement. TV Fool gives you a rough idea on this by using colors to highlight which channels you’ll easily receive and which ones would be more difficult. However, if your broadcast signals are farther away, you’ll need to pay extra close attention to where and how you place your antenna. Since many of the signals that I can get are fairly close to my location (only 5-10 miles away), placement of my antenna isn’t super critical. (More on antenna selection in a moment.)įrom the list of channels on the right-hand side, you really only need to focus on the distance of the broadcasts signals, which tells you how far away they are. As you can see from my diagram above, most of the broadcast signals are coming from the northeast, which means I should ideally place my antenna in the northeast corner of my house so that I can get the best signal possible. The diagram’s cross represents north, south, east, and west. The direction of the lines are important as well. The longer a line is and the closer it is to the center of the bullseye, the better the signal is for that channel based on your location. The lines you see are in various lengths, and each line represents a channel. It can be a bit daunting trying to figure out what it all means, but the only thing you really need to pay the most attention to is the circular diagram. Once it loads, you’ll see what looks like a round diagram with various lines inside, as well as a list of channels off to the right, highlighted in different colors. ![]() Give it a few moments to load the next page. ![]() Simply enter your address and click on “Find Local Channels”.
