Yeah, I've gone a bit mad with the 'classics' threads, but I wanted one for the PC.
So, any old gems you want to share with us?

Yup. The best one was when a King took a knight: He'd turn into a knight and would try and decapitate him!
Unfortunately, something happened to my P120 so Battle Chess no longer works. :(

I've got it (both the original and "Atomic Edition" and they both work fine on XP.
The only thing that doesn't is Ken Silverman's Build.exe level editor. I can't get into 3D mode on that.
Games I consider classics? I loved playing so many!
Command & Conquer and C&C Red Alert
Theme Hospital
Star Trek: A Final Unity
Swiv
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
Worms (though doesn't work on XP)
Lemmings
Doom/Doom 2
and my list could go on for quite a while...

The best game involving knights was 'Battle Chess'. It was chess with a twist- the moves would knock each other out, shoot each other, explode and fall donw holes when they were taken. Pretty damn good for 1988. :D
Die by the Sword!
did anyone play this?
you played a knight, and you had to kill huge monsters, other knights, and orcs and stuff. you could chop their arms and legs off, and when you got smacked with an axe, your character shouted 'BLOODY HELL!'.
high-larious

I think some of them may have been relaunched in a budget range recently; as ever, check your local games shop. Damn good games though; I had Interceptor, which I still occasionally play.
