For those who dont remember, Battlechess is a chess video game. Not too exciting eh? In fact its AI was below most other chess games at their time. But what it brought to the table was the fact that every battle was played out, with each piece having something different against another.

Well it looks like it may just come back via Kickstarter! In full 3D and revamped system

Looks promising.... pledges have a ways to go though.

I remember the origional.... was very fun.

Not violent enough for me. If my chess piece are going to be skewering and smacking each other about I want some gore and the occasional dismemberment.

That does look pretty cool. Good luck to them!
