| Star Wars Chess (Video Game) | comment |
It is a time of great competition in the Galaxy. An uneasy state of peace has been established between the weakened forces of the Galactic Empire and the growing Rebel Alliance. During this uncertain period of truce, the old adversaries settle their differences through the ancient, eternal game of CHESS. With their greatest heroes as champions, the Empire and the Rebel Alliance fight battles of the mind. It is a new kind of warfare. One that will decide the fate of planets, civilizations and the future...Star Wars Chess is an adaptation of Chess based on Star Wars, released for the MS-DOS, Sega CD, and Windows 3.x in 1993 by The Software Toolworks.The game is very similar to Battle Chess, in that it takes an ordinary chess program and spices it up with animated pieces and battle animations whenever a piece is captured. However, naturally, the pieces are all represented by different characters from the original Star Wars trilogy. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Star Wars Chess (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: There are two, depending on which side wins the game. If the Rebels win, you get a scene of the Death Star exploding. If the Empire wins, you get a more ominous ending depicting the Death Star surrounded by TIE Fighters, as Darth Vader says "Now you know the power of the dark side." | |

| Star Wars Chess (Video Game) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: R2-D2. While he's a Non-Action Guy in the movies, in this game, he can go toe-to-toe with the villainous members of the Empire and win, and some of the battle sequences where he wins are surprisingly brutal. | |

Off with His Head! | |
| Star Wars Chess (Video Game) / int_7e6c0522 | comment |
Off with His Head!: A few of the battle animations have this. When Luke captures a Tusken Raider, Luke cuts the Raider's head off with his lightsaber. The body then subsequently gets pulled into a spontaneously appearing Sarlacc pit. If Boba Fett captures C-3PO, he backhands 3-PO in the face, causing his head to come unscrewed. | |

An Arm and a Leg | |
| Star Wars Chess (Video Game) / int_d028e0da | comment |
An Arm and a Leg: Many animations involving C-3PO have him losing limbs. This can happen regardless of whether or not he's on the winning side. When he captures a Stormtrooper, his hand gets shot off before he wins. When he captures Darth Vader, His whole arm gets cut off by Vader's lightsaber. He then proceeds to pick up his arm, clash it with the lightsaber, and somehow deactivate it, allowing him to club Vader with his arm. If Vader is on the winning side, however, 3PO isn't quite so lucky. That's right, 'tis but a scratch. | |

Adaptational Wimp: Zigzagged with Luke and the Emperor. While the battle sequences involving both depict them as being just as powerful as would be expected from them, during gameplay, they are used to represent the King and are therefore not particularly useful for capturing other pieces. | |
