This game was such a visual showpiece. It'd be hard to reproduce that feeling today, I think.
Even then fans of chess games mostly felt it was mediocre as a chess game and kind of annoying to play for long stretches, but pretty to look at. I don't know what the equivalent of that is in 2024.
You play it once and love it, then set up a board to see all possible combinations, then never touch it again, because you've seen everything and the animations slow down gameplay to an extremely annoying degree.
