Hidden Chinese Chess - An Qi (Asia) (Unl) Game

Hidden Chinese Chess - An Qi (Asia) (Unl) is a fascinating little gem for the NES that blends traditional Chinese strategy with the charm of 8-bit gaming. Think of it as a hidden chess variant where you’re not just moving pieces—you’re uncovering them! The game takes the classic rules of An Qi (a lesser-known but deeply tactical Chinese board game) and gives it a nostalgic NES twist, complete with pixelated boards and simple yet satisfying gameplay.

What makes it stand out? Unlike standard chess, here your pieces start hidden, adding a layer of bluffing and deduction that keeps every match unpredictable. It’s a brain-teasing mix of memory and strategy, perfect for players who love outsmarting opponents. Though it never got a wide release outside Asia, it’s a cool slice of retro gaming history—especially if you’re into obscure, culturally rich titles. Fire it up if you’re craving something different from the usual NES lineup!
