Zhan Qi Chinese Battle Chess is an original unlicensed Megadrive chess game, taking a more Chinese approach to both the game rules and the presentation. Using a Chinese variation of chess, pieces such as the queen and bishop are replaced by advisors, ministers and cannons. The pieces behave differently than their European counterparts and even the board is configured differently. Two things remain the same: the ultimate goal of putting the opposing player's king in check and the animated Battlechess-like battles that occur when two pieces compete for the same spot on the board.
