Doom III Chess News

PC News by Corey Brotherson

3 August, 2005

The Doom III mod community have created a neat little mini-game, transporting the world of id Software's first-person shooter into chess.

As long as you have a copy of Doom III and another player, you'll be able to play. The rules mostly follow the strategy classic with a few provisos. The first being if you accidentally knock a piece over, it's deemed out of play. The second stipulation is that if your opponent is taking too long in moving a piece you can shoot him, something you can also do should you find yourself about to be checkmated. Nice.

You can check the game and its instructions over at one of the many mirror sites.

Well, good I guess, but surely the HL2 engine using the gravity gun is a better way to do this.

I'd definately give this a go. If i hadnt got rid of doom 3 out of disgust for it being a bit, well crap.

Why not use the characters for pieces. Seems almost pointless otherwise.

Imagine Battle Chess but with Doom III characters instead! That would totally rock.
