Chessboard Land?

[Yonkey]

Same here!  I thought there was some way of getting in.

Me too! When I was playing KQ6 for the first time, I gave one of my online friends regular updates. During one of these talks I asked him how you got into Chessboard Land. He told me you couldn't get into Chessboard Land, and I was like, "Well that totally sucks!" It's the drive of every devoted adventure game player, IMHO... stick an interesting-seeming place in front of us that we can't get into, and we'll complain about it.

When i first played it and thought you could go into Chess Board land i used to paint a mental picture of what it would look like

It looked pretty good in my mind and that just made me wanna go their and look at it , then i found out you couldnt go in there so i started getting mad

Well, I hope Alexander doesn't just excercise his royal powers in order to get into Chessboard Land. He'd probably become very disliked among the people, seeing as humans should never be allowed access.

And the "moving as a chesspiece" idea seems too odd to me. After all, neither the Knights nor the Queens (the only pieces we have seen) moved like their respective chesspieces, if I can recall correctly.

Chessboard Land looked a bit empty. I tried going in but I only saw black and white squares for miles and miles.

On my first playthrough of King's Quest VI, I always thought there was some way of getting into Chessboard Land, too. It was a bit disappointing to learn that there isn't, but it doesn't bother me anymore. It looks like a dull place anyway.

Are not the squares white and red? I know the pieces are, at least...

[koko_99_2001]

I was thinking the same thing.  I'm pretty sure it's red and white.

Ah, I thought they were black and white. Been a while. Though chessboards don't always match the colors of the pieces, yanno.

[Celli]

I wonder if we'll ever see the Kings, or the Bishops. lol

[Cez]

The squares are purple and creamish

The pieces are Red and white

I'm watching it right now... both in a KQ6 screen and a KQ9 one

Leak the information or i stab you with the kitchen knife Cesar

[B'rrr]

....Racx, it's a plastic one ; ) ...besides if you'll stab him he will be leaking blood instead of info ; /

[racx_00]

how did you know it was plastic , i mean... this aint no plastic

[koko_99_2001]

I must say that it's been a while since I played the game (spring break is this next week, so hopefully I'll be able to play it).  I guess I'm just remembering it wrong.  BUT I will post what it is once I get there!

Its definitely Red and white cos i just booted the program and loaded the save , and my video card work well

[koko_99_2001]

Quick question: are there different versions of the game...you know, the English version is red and white, another one is black and white, and another is purple and creamish?  Not sure, but maybe that could be a reason we are coming up with different colors?  

Cat

[racx_00]

it maybe because of different game versions, but it also could be because of different video cards

or it could be because there are a few dillusional ppl in here

[B'rrr]

besides you'll need the scarf of the red queen to distract something, don't you?

[The Fat Emu]

Oh, the pieces are definitely red and white. I'm 100% positive on that.
I just turned on KQ6. Cesar was right, the squares are purple and cream-coloured/peach beyond any doubt.
