Abandonware DOS title

Chess88

With Chess88, you’re entering the elite club of DOS chess nerds who appreciate ASCII art and precision time controls. Compared to its 1981 predecessor, it’s a leap forward—kind of like going from a stone tablet to a chalkboard. The AI is a tad smarter, the interface slightly friendlier, and there's a modest sprinkle of features to make you feel like you’ve graduated to “serious hobbyist.” Just don’t expect voice acting or particle effects. This is chess, not Hollywood. Still, it’s the kind of game that might make your dad say, “Now this is how we used to do it.”
