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.

The #CritterCoveTrailer looks really cute! I've also played around with the demo which was really fun. (I was as a robot with a TV for a head.)

I added Critter Cove to my wishlist for when the full version is out! (It's currently in early access.) #CCWishlist

#MyFavoriteSonic game is Sonic Adventure 2! I loved the 2D Sonic games growing up, but the Sonic Adventure games were a revelation.

Hereā€™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.

My favorite #SonicCharacter is E-102 Gamma! One of my favorite parts of Sonic Adventure getting to play as a Badnik on a pseudo-redemption arc.

The new #CryptmasterTrailer looks so cool! I *love* the art style and can't wait to try out the new content.

Normally ā€œultra glossā€ would not allow a top coat, not even itself. I was able to apply ā€œultra matteā€ ā€œSand Dollarā€ white over the red without blister. It has a great texture. My ā€œfrog tapeā€ and artist tape let me down and took away some gloss on the red.

Wahoo! I mastered all of the stickers in the free Pride pack!
