Dexter's Laboratory : Chess Challenge Overview
Dexter's Laboratory: Chess Challenge adapts the rules of chess into a video game featuring characters from the animated series. Its design appears intended to introduce the board game to a younger audience through this licensed property.
Four characters from the show are available for selection across several modes. The primary single-player experience involves progressing through matches against computer opponents. A separate two-player option allows for matches on one system or linked handhelds.
Beyond standard matches, a dedicated puzzle mode presents specific board situations requiring a correct sequence of moves to solve. This mode is described as the game's most complex component, offering multiple levels of challenging scenarios. Other modes provide simpler, easy matches against a single opponent or the full tournament bracket.
