azuarc 05/07/24 1:55:56 AM #10:	Okay, I'm gonna go in a completely different direction with this one. My dad always used to laud the creation of this game, and I dunno what's even the proper name to call it beyond just "Chess," but we had a DOS-based Chess game that was under 10 kilobytes. The graphics were respectable enough insofar as the pieces looked like chess pieces. The game was perfectly functional, ran smoothly, and used arrow keys to move around the board to select pieces rather than just typing grid squares. The kicker, though, was that it had an AI with 7 difficulty levels that my dad (who was decidedly not a chess player) was never able to beat even on the simplest settings. Neither did I, though that isn't saying much given how old I was at the time. Honestly, the game's a bit of an enigma, because even with the best machine language-written optimized code of the time, I still can't imagine how they made a game that small that did as much as it did. So that's my answer: Chess.exe (DOS). --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. <cite>azuarc posted [p:980277403] in What's the...
