Check Mate

by Peter Zoetewey

from Your Sinclair #15 (Mar.1987)



Long after man had disappeared from the surface of planet Sol III, the

robots lived on. The leisure complex under the polar icecap buzzed

with activity, as robots, androids and cyborgs played and replayed the

huge mechanical games. Oddly, they began to choose certain games more

than others, the most popular being Check Mate, a strategy game based

on a chess board.



As the control droid, you must construct a chess board by toggling the

huge squares, whilst avoiding the laser spitting Cursordroids. As each

square is set, another is toggled randomly across the board, so your

work is really cut out for you! So, control droid, sit back and bend

your mind to Check Mate.



The game couldn't be simpler this time around. Astonishingly enough,

the listing is all in Basic(!), with machine code 2-channel music, and

super (jolly dee) graphics, all loading up from DATA statements.
