Mythic Chess v0.7 (Board Game) by Dalto  Mythic Chess is a high quality homebrew chess game written by Dalto with superb graphics done by MattMagoo. It includes a full-featured chess engine including pawn promotion, saving & loading, and undoing your last move. You can play against the computer with 10 levels of difficulty, against a friend, or watch the computer play itself. The graphics in Mythic Chess are simply amazing. There are 2 different visual styles, the normal top-down view, or a battle chess-like perspective view. There are 6 different pieces & boards to choose from, or you can make & import your own! There are 3 "themed" sets to choose from in addition to a classic styled set and a hand drawn classic set. The 3 themed sets are Mario & South Park made by MattMagoo, and a hand drawn Metroid set made by Kuwanger. There is also a board made for each set of pieces. One of the only faults in this game is the complete lack of sound. Some people may say that there doesn't need to be sound in a game of chess, but I disagree. Even a simple "click" would work when placing your piece, or a "swoosh" when a piece gets taken. A nice feature would be a mod music player, so people could play what they want with a potentially long game of chess. One thing that's been bugging me is that the readme states that you can undo your last move, but doesn't say how and I haven't been able to find it yet. Overall, though, this is one amazing piece of work that is, for the most part highly ignored. One day, I'd like to see a v1.0 of this come out, but until then, Mythic Chess v0.7 will be one of the best chess games available in any form on the GP32.
