Silly Star Wars Spotlight: The Software Toolworks Star Wars Chess


Back in 1993, Software Toolworks released a Star Wars chess game! Don't let the epic cover art fool you, some parts of it ended up being deeply silly.

For example, you might be wondering, "How can C-3PO defeat Boba Fett?" Well, he takes Fett's blaster and lectures the bounty hunter about how dangerous they can be.

Threepio isn't the only droid stealing people's weapons though, as R2-D2 steals Vader's lightsaber and strikes him down with it.

Some of the animations are less goofy (as you'd expect, Han and Leia are more apt to just blast someone) but the droids really bring an important silliness to the game.

Here’s my art for Day 1 of #Joltober! My #Ghost is one of the Boo Buddies!

One of my favorite #ScaryGame experiences was playing FEAR back in the day.

A jumpscare got my friend so bad that he jumped to his feet and his desk chair shot straight across the room.

I was at a Halloween fair over the weekend and I saw a really cool custom made Springtrap prop!

It was created by Stanley Haus.

There's one day left in our celebration of #StarWars! Don't miss your chance to get the Star Wars sticker pack. 👀

It all ends on May 11th at 12 pm UTC.

I made some fan art of Tokichiro! #FanArtFriday

Here’s my art for #Joltober Day 3: #Bat Wario!

It's hard to pick only one as #MyFavoriteGame so here are some of my faves from various generations!

Here’s my Cal Kestis from Jedi Survivor! I've had a lot of fun with the game so far. It builds on Fallen Order in some really fun ways.

What movie would I like to get a game adaptation?

A Troll Hunter game would be fun! #GJAsks
