Chessmaster II

Chessmaster II is the 1999 Starsphere Interactive chess simulation published in PAL regions by Mindscape, offering 24 animated chess sets and 64 computer opponents across multiple difficulty tiers. This is the pan-European Original, released on 15 October 1999 covering the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. It is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case with a hologram on the case and a single English-language disc. The barcode is 5390102431174. As the only catalogued PAL pressing of SLES-02117, this is the sole physical version available to collectors and represents a multi-territory release rather than a country-specific distribution. The Mindscape 5390102 EAN prefix is consistent across the publisher’s late PSX strategy releases.
