Trivia
Award
According to the
webpage of the movie sequences' writer: "CHESS WARS: A Medieval Fantasy and Interactive Motion Picture written and directed by Paul W. Cooper. Art Data Interactive. Won, Best New Video Game, 1996.". It doesn't say who gave the award though. Also, the year listed conflicts with the year of publishing by
WizardWorks (1998), though 1996 may be when writing and filming was done.
Cancelled 3DO release
There was a rumor of a 3DO release or port at one point (not surprising considering
Art Data's other 3DO ports), but it was never released.
