Star Wars Chess is a 1993 chess video game developed by The Software Toolworks, based on the Star Wars film franchise and published by Mindscape for MS-DOS, Sega CD, and Windows 3.x. A 3DO version was planned but never released.[1]
The game uses characters from the films in lieu of normal chess pieces, and a short animated battle takes place when a piece is taken, much like in the similar game Battle Chess (which itself was inspired by the holographic chess game shown in Star Wars.
