the most underappreciated thing from the nineties was the computer game "Battle Chess"

it had human/monster figures that stood in for the chess pieces on the board. they could do all kinds of rad poo poo, like the queen was a sorceress that could fry dudes w lightning, the king could kill the queen by flashing her his dick, the bishops had secret spearpoints on their shepherds crooks and also could burn dudes alive with magic, the rooks were stone golems that crushed poeople to death

also bishops could open holes in the board with magic into which dudes fell to their death

it was super violent and gory for a chess game

I dont think it was under-appreciated. Didn't they make like 20 versions of it like "Star Wars" etc?

wow really? i stopped playing it when my dad ditched our ancient magnavox desktop and never ever heard anything about it again from anyone

The thing I remember most about this game was the insane anti-piracy measures it had. Whenever you started up (via DOS prompt if I remember correctly) it would flash a code and then you had a code book and you had to find the password in the book to match the code. Huge pain in the rear end. Eventually I lost the codebook and was never able to play again.

huh, i don't remember that at all...different version maybe

the 90s was a golden age for waterguns

just an endless parade of water gun toy companies trying to one-up each other and even themselves by strapping more poo poo onto poo poo


also the Jurassic Park game for Sega owned and featured that one level where you play grant with a pistol and the T-Rex head explodes through the wall and you have to shoot it or something
