Lego Chess (PC, 1998)

Full campaign playthrough of the Lego Chess PC game. This game has pretty amusing cutscenes and videos each time you capture a piece. There are two campaigns: Pirate levels and Knight levels.

This was great fun to work on. Lego were quite inexperienced and very strict in terms of what we could do. We were banned from bending limbs when animating or showing any violence (we originally wanted the characters to explode into pieces). All the characters were exactly to scale and based on real sets. I left Krisalis Software the following year so it’s one of the last games I worked on for them. 😊

[@anse001]

omg this game made me really like chess as a kid! It's amazing to meet one of the people who worked on this! Also quite ironic that newer lego games have characters explode into pieces.

[@philliphackney7451]

@@anse001 that’s fantastic to hear, glad you enjoyed it. 😊

[@SwarmofAngryBees]

@@philliphackney7451 I got this game and a five pack of Lego games when I was six or seven. I probably played this game in Legoland the most just because of how fun it was. Thank you and your team for producing some of the most memorable games.

Miss my childhood.. from Korea.. I had no idea what chess was, until my mother bought me this cd as birthday present..and that kid has grown with elo rater between1900-2000....still a pleasant hobby.

[@papagunit]

The tutorials in this game were actually very helpful, learned some rules and tricks no one had taught me before, like en passant.

[@zaleost]

I remember using a could of the moves I learned in the game on my friends at the time, which really annoyed them because they didn't know they were allowed.

[@crimson1718]

Damn, I remember buying this around 2002-2003. If I'm not mistaken, the CD came with a figure, which was like a king in his throne or something. I remember playing this on my mom's computer, on like windows 2000. I miss those times.

This and Lego Island were my favorite games growing up. Thanks for making this great game.

[@mackpines]

I remember playing this in 3rd grade back in like 2006. Our teacher used it to teach us about probability. It also taught me how to play chess. Great times back then.

[@XanafiedcatGaming]

this game also came with a cool Lego figure of the king and his crown was detachable so you could use it on other little Lego figure as well. I used to play this on a old 1995 Packard Bell computer. seriously though who would buy a remake of this game? if they actually made a more modern version of Lego Chess with all the old content and a little bit of new stuff added even I would probably buy it. so many memories of this game, bring it back and new kids could learn something and old fans could have some fun.

[@PacGuy765]

The only problem with this game is the SFX used in the Cut scenes; the more a certain SFX plays, it stops playing all together and it can happen at random. 1 of the examples is when the Queen throws a Banana to trip up the Knight; the "Parrot" SFX is missing and it even doesn't play when the Rook takes out the Bishop

Brothers and Sisters, as it is written in the Gospel of Mark, "They went from from there and passed though Galilee. And He did not want anyone to know, for He was teaching His disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And when He is killed, after three days He will rise." But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask Him." (Mark 9:30-32) Brothers, Our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ died for you that you may be free from sin and subject to The LORD God of Hosts; for He has been resurrected that it may be certain that death has no power over Him. Beloved, repent of your sins and keep your faith strong in Our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the way and the truth and the life, by whose name man finds his only salvation. -Ezekiel
