Luke and the Emperor play the role of the Kings so players must protect them at all costs. For example, the light side has built an army of Artoo units as your dispensable pawns while the dark side has an intimidating row of stormtroopers. Instead, this is just a regular chess game with all of your favourite Star Wars characters except Han ('cos you know he'll just shoot first).Įach side represents the light or dark side of the force with the icons of sci-fi cinema taking the spots of rooks, knights and the like. It's called Dejarik in case you didn't know. You know the one - the one where you let the Wookie win. When I first booted this up many years ago, I was hoping for a unique take on that virtual board game first seen in the Millennium Falcon. Even back in 1993 when this game was released, digital chess was not a new idea, but adding Star Wars to anything makes it automatically cool.ĭeveloped by The Software Toolworks, Star Wars Chess is perhaps something of a disappointment to fans of the movies. Even in the gaming world, characters from a galaxy far far away were slapped on to every genre out there.
If you thought The Force Awakens has engulfed the world, licensed products based on the original trilogy kept coming for 30 years.
