Based on Hnefatafl, the viking chess game.
1,500 years older than chess.

Is this good? The only reviews I can find say it sucks but the premise is interesting.

Why couldn't MS just keep compiling its old games to new OSs and offer them as standalone downloads? Solitarie, chess, pinball didn't need any changes at all.

Who the fuck says it sucks? I've never seen any negative discussion about the game whenever it's posted here. I vouch for it at any rate. It's very strategic and can have you at the edge of your seat.

Maybe older than modern FIDE standard chess, but chess descends from Chaturanga which is at least 2,000 years old. Had the same board and pieces, but the bishop and queen had different movements, no two square first pawn moves, and no castling.

That said, I will check your game out.

Cool, thanks. I love Bomberman and I love SRPGs and have been meaning to check this out.

Hope you like it man. As you advance you get different bombermen and each one has their own strategy and movement type. There's also 25 different fields with different routes, walls, and hazards, plus 5 different bosses
