National Lampoon's Chess Maniac 5 Billion and 1

The Good
From begining to end, the jokes are everywhere. When a piece was taken, an cutscene video was shown, presenting the unusual death of the piece. Death scenes involved actors in costume performing a 3 second death scene with themes of sexual, scatalogical or dancing. The computer would cheat by having a ghostly hand pull one of your pieces off the board. The pieces move across the board in a fashion consistent with their costumes. Knights gallop and the belly dancer shimmies. The computer player sounds like Hal from '2001' and often taunts you with monontone phrases.

The Bad
The chess engine is terrible and very easy to beat. The game offers a 'serious' mode. However, there are some public domain chess games that play a far superior game. Gnuchess comes to mind.

The animation becomes repetitive very quickly.

The Bottom Line
Dumber and funnier version of Battlechess. Very little if any replay value. No challenge at all.
