    Knight slaying a night looks like a tribute to Monty Python's Holy Grail

    I remember everything about this game like it was yesterday.. the music, the moves, the sound effects, the battles... I got this game with my first PC in 1996 and played it everyday after school.. it was epic!

      @@robertwolfgan Not to say good but it was how I properly learned to play chess and strategizing because i was amused by the whole battles. Being a kid in the 90s when technology was rising was so damn awesome.

    Love the people that are commenting that the game is too slow as if it were a design choice. Your phone would quite literally be considered an impossibly fast supercomputer back when this came out. Also, get off my lawn, kids and their damn music, etc.

      Sounds like it can't write the file "temp.set".
      Check that the directory isn't write protected.

    Wish the pieces didn't move so slow. That's the real downfall of the game. In every version it's like this too if anyone was wondering. They always move super slow.

  • @zirkoni42

    There are some legal issues with the enhanced version so it's not sold anywhere. I guess your only options are finding a used copy or piracy.

  • @snailbrain

    so how i enter the setup program

    • @zirkoni42
      @zirkoni42  11 лет назад

      By running the setup program's executable in DOSBox.
      BTW, all I had to do to run the game was put the CD-ROM in, mount it in DOSBox and start the game directly from the CD with chess.bat. Everything worked fine, sound settings were automatically detected.

  • @snailbrain
    @snailbrain 11 лет назад

    where is the setup program?

    • @zirkoni42
      @zirkoni42  11 лет назад

      The game doesn't necessarily have one.
      But if it does it's probably in the same directory as the main game executable and is called something like install.exe, setup.exe or setsound.exe.

    • @zirkoni42

      Try running the game's setup program (maybe setup.exe, setsound.exe, install.exe, ...) if it has one and choose the same settings for sound as in your DOSBox configuration (default SB16, A220, IRQ7, DMA1, HDMA5).

      Move the game files to a location where you have full read/write permissions, for example your home folder (in Windows: C:\Users\YourName\).
      Then mount that location in DOSBox, cd to the gamefolder and start the game.
