Long story short, I learned how to play chess on this game, I've been DYING to play more chess with this game, it took me YEARS To realize the opening was a big Elvis Presley joke, and if I get this back I can challenge my family in this game. I miss it.
This is the game that taught me how to play chess! I don't have my original disc anymore (after losing it in a flood), and even if I did I don't think I'd be able to get it to run on anything. I've struggled to even find if someone had created a ROM I could try to manipulate into playing the game through some sort of emulator. It's truly a classic, and one that should have never been lost to time in the first place.
Its a charming, beginner friendly version of Chess and It has scooby-doo style animations for your attacks. Its really difficult to get running on windows as it expects a floppy drive for some reason and has random crashes.

One of my first games that I owned as my game. Not my dad's, mine. Loved it. Kids are starting to get into Chess, and they already love Legos. This is a no brainer for me.

I played this game on my dad's old computer a ton when I was a kid. It was predominantly how I learned to play chess. I still wasn't very good at it, but I had fun playing Chess with LEGO characters. I loved listening to that Elvis-sounding King character.

Fate/Extra
Fate/ExtraFate/Extra is a dungeon crawl style Japanese role-playing game. The game takes place in a parallel universe to the visual novel Fate/stay night. At the start of the game, the player may choose to play as either a male or female character, as well as selecting one of three Servants — Saber, Archer, or Caster, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Players spend one ingame "week" interacting with other characters, viewing scenes that advance the game's story, talking to their Servant in their room, and gathering clues to the identity of the enemy Servant. At the end of each day, they enter the Arena, a dungeon in which they can battle monsters to gain experience points and strengthen their Servant. The game's turn-based battle system is comparable to rock-paper-scissors -- "Attack" overpowers "Break", Break overpowers "Guard", and Guard overpowers Attack. During battle, both the player and the opponent line up six such moves at the beginning of each turn.
