“I’ve got my pitchfork, lord.” The sounds were created by Billy Besselink. He was a “famous” actor that I used to work with at a video game company. We were playing Warcraft 2 at the time. He made some pretty funny sounds for the game. I’m surprised that PC version still runs! Let me know if you want a free promo code for the iOS version.
Hi there!
I remember playing the old win 98 version EG chess when I was a kid, I’m surprised I found this website, but the download links for the legacy version seem broken. Is there any way i could obtain the .exe for me to install and go on a trip down memory lane?
I wanted to install this game for a while. The .zip file seems to be “damaged”, which I used winrar to fix. I downloaded the d3drm.dll file and put it next to the setup in it’s respective uncompressed file at the desktop.
Now it opens the CMD and says “Setup is unable to find _SETUP.DLL, which is needed to complete the installation. Error 103”.
I’d love some help since it’s a childhood game and I couldn’t find it even in abandonware sites.
Hi, what is the voice saying in the older version of EG Chess ? It´s something like “Excuse my pitchfork…..”

Hi Davide. Thanks for your message. I have fixed the broken links. Hopefully it still works! Let me know if there are any problems.
