Laser Chess

Laser Chess for DOS, released in 1994 by programmer Peter Venable, is a strategic board game blending traditional chess-like movement with futuristic laser combat. Players command mirrored and armored pieces on a grid, firing lasers that bounce off surfaces to hit and eliminate the opponent’s pieces. Victory comes from smart positioning, anticipating enemy moves, and setting up devastating laser shots. With its unique mechanics and puzzle-like gameplay, Laser Chess offered a fresh, cerebral twist on strategy gaming.
