Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess

Cannons thunder, chariots race over grassy fields, and dragons hurl fireballs at opposing forces in the latest animated strategy game from Interplay Productions. Watch as dragons toast hapless knights, counsellors flatten pawns with enormous mallets hidden in their robes, and cannons merrily blast away at opponents cowering behind other pieces.

It is entertainment that will prove the words of the famous Oriental Philosopher/Chef Kung Pao, who said, "War is fun!"
