PCCHESS Game
Ah, PCCHESS—the classic MS-DOS gem that brought the timeless battle of wits to your chunky CRT monitor! This no-frills chess game might not have flashy 3D graphics or grandmaster-level AI, but that’s part of its charm. It’s pure, straightforward chess, the way your grandpa used to play it—just you, the cold logic of 64 squares, and a digital opponent that could still humble you if you weren’t paying attention. Perfect for quick matches between homework sessions or honing your skills before bragging rights at the local chess club.
There’s something oddly nostalgic about the stark, pixelated pieces and the satisfying click of moving a rook across the board. PCCHESS might not have the bells and whistles of modern chess sims, but it’s a delightful throwback to when games were all about simplicity and strategy. If you’ve ever wondered what chess looked like in the early days of home computing—or just want a distraction-free way to practice your knight maneuvers—this is your time capsule. Checkmate, indeed.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
