    How to play the game: Download PCem (version v17 is fine). Google pcemwin98se, download that and add/extract it to the PCem folder. This is your windows 98 special edition, and this saves you from setting everything in win98 up yourself. Download the Lego Chess .iso file from archive DOT org /details/lego-chess. Launch windows 98 from your PCem app. (you may need to look up how to do this) mount the Lego Chess iso in your PCem win 98 emulation, and then run it. Install Lego chess. It will now work, but the graphics will be a little wonky. Go to start -> programs -> – > Lego Media -> In Lego Chess Config, change the graphics driver to Voodoo2 Direct. Launch game! Woooo, there you go 😀 NOSTALGIA!

    Hello. I have figured out how to play the game. Here are the steps.
    1. Download PCem (version v17 is fine).
    2. Google pcemwin98se, download that and add/extract it to the PCem folder. This is your windows 98 special edition, and this saves you from setting everything in win98 up yourself.
    3. Download the Lego Chess .iso file from archive DOT org /details/lego-chess
    4. Launch windows 98 from your PCem app.
    5. (you may need to look up how to do this) mount the Lego Chess iso in your PCem win 98 emulation, and then run it.
    6. Install Lego chess. It will now work, but the graphics will be a little wonky.
    7. Go to start -> programs -> – > Lego Media -> In Lego Chess Config, change the graphics driver to Voodoo2 Direct.
    8. Launch game! Woooo, there you go 😀 NOSTALGIA!

        Instead of using the ISO from archive.org, instead use the one from the website here. Mount the .cue file, this fixed the “insert CD” error for me. It seems that the one from archive.org has some copy protection which the one here does not. Enjoy!

    I don’t think there is any actual way you can do this actually unfortunately because usually games like this that come on a CD like that especially if there that old like a game from 1998 you would have to order the CD online which I found a few copies on eBay still so that’s good at least. But yea usually the reason why you usually can’t off these cites is because it’s almost like cheating and stealing the game in a way without actually having to buy it. So as much as this said person in their post thought they were actually being helpful they really weren’t because it probably worked at first but then got blocked since stealing copies like this is not only illegal but because it is illegal these things can also be traced and this person was probably already caught and you realize even if this actually works you can get traced and caught too. So if you guys are smart you guys will give this up now and buy the CD copy on eBay for the price of $14.00 plus the standard $2.99 shipping fee like a normal person. Like how hard is it to cough up $17.99 basically being $18 total people? You act like your being forced to spend $100 to $1000 lol.

    The setup is 16-bit,put all contents into a blank folder, delete setup.exe, use this (make sure to put it into the folder with the CD-Rom Files, but do not eject cd/iso. after that, if you have NGlide, launch the game.
