Can’t believe it’s been 24 years since I worked on this. The pre-rendered scenes were added right at the end of Production by a different company. We couldn’t believe that they’d been allowed to bend the characters’ limbs - we had been told not to for the in-game characters. Great fun to work on though. 😊
You made my childhood so much better and fun, thank you for this. I remember showing this game to my dad, who really liked chess, and we played together, happy memories
lego cutscenes hit different from the 90s/early 2000s, loved this game so much as a kid and the cutscenes were great used to always want the sets from them and now age 25 I own them all haha
I remember playing this on our old family computer back in the late 90's. The animation for the cutscenes here (not the pre-rendered openings) were way choppier than this video- they'd play at the same speed but the framerate was like 5 frames per second, so it looked more like a slideshow than a smooth animation. But I had nothing to compare it to at the time and I could still tell what was happening, so I just figured that's just how it was animated normally.
the capture scenes was like the best thing about this game the only mistake was they should have done king captures which presents when you get checkmate heck if its remastered add alot more themes and do more capture scenes like these
8:47: All the cutscenes are pretty much parodies of MAD's famous Spy VS Spy and Looney Toons, thumbs up if you agree. I'm telling you man, back when I had this game, I had both AI on, just so I could watch all cutscene intermissions

Thanks for your work Phil
Flashbacks is real
If there's one thing this video has taught me, it's that when in doubt use crocodile growl sound effects.
This is honestly good to keep in mind.
It has been almost 22 years, damn I played this so much only for these cutscenes, back then far better quality I remember 😁
11:49 this is the cutscene I remember the most from LEGO Chess
Isn't it strange how all the cutscenes are unique in their own way, but they recycle the rook & queen cutscenes??
@@PacGuy765 I always noticed that
oh man, blast from the past, none of my friends know what this is and now I feel older
So much nostalgia, one of the first video games I ever played through as a kid
yea
This is pure comedy. Like, Blazing Saddles-type comedy.

Aw, the nostalgia. I didn't even know how to play chess when this game came out, but my sister played it a lot and I loved the goofy cutscenes.
22:39 I don't know why, but his facial expression matched the SFX just right *XD*

Dang the flashback are crazy. My chess teacher used to play this for us and I loved the cutscenes

The western cutscene was reused in Legoland in the tutorial levels.

15:03 this one I remember the most
i miss when lego was about building whatever you could think up. :(
Ah the nostalgia
my very first video game. so much nostalgia
12:03 native guy's hatchet said ☠
I remember playing this as a kid so many years ago.
24:54 Grunts: "RUN AWAY!!!"
Someone should make a TF2 Dub of all these cutscenes!
I only played this game to watch the cutscenes of the pieces beating each other
18:00 I thought of this scene when I accidentally knocked over my toothpaste bottle in the dark
Back when they dident make Lego out Of everything
Nostalgia
I've never seen these cutscenes and I thought they were unused because the game crashes many times on Windows 10 and I don't know why
lego
Why didn’t you include the intro scene?
