I wasn't even aware you'd been locked up, unless they're really being creative to make sure the game comes out on time.

I have it on CD. Loved those Signature Series CDs. Along with Battle Chess, Star Trek 25th Anniversary, and Judgment Rites

Battle Chess on GoG! I have it. It does not hold up well though.

The CD version of Battle Chess was far different. Hi res graphics and CD Audio music and sounds for the battles. Also has a particularly hilariously fully voiced tutorial of all the pieces talking about their moves. I'm surprised they never put it on GoG with the others.

I liked Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess, although they didn't always seem to follow the stated rules. Sometimes, the computer would make seemingly illegal moves.
