Battle Chess was originally developed on and for the Amiga; what you're
looking at is a port from the Amiga version, so if you haven't seen it
on the Amiga, then you haven't seen Battle Chess at its best.  A good
Mac port ought to have more in common with the Amiga version than the
IBM one.  But beware: it doesn't play nearly as good a game of chess
as Chessmaster 2000.  On the other hand, for occasional amusement, it
looks like a lot of fun.

The publisher of Battle Chess and their address/phone is:

		Interplay
		1575 Corporate Drive
		Costa Mesa, CA  92626
		(800) 227-6900  or  (714) 549-2411
