Nostalgia games: Name them?

[2E]

Hey guys,

Searching for two games i remember playing when i was a kid.. they weren't anything great but for nostalgia i would like to find them again.

The first was a BattleChess kinda game, but one of the piece types were wizards (pawns i think?) and when you tried to take a piece it would go to a screen animation where it showed you the battle, in this case the wizard would strike the ground with his staff, open a hole and the other piece would drop into oblivion.
I've played Battlechess and thats not it.. any ideas?

The second is a strange one, no idea what the point of the game was but it was 3d and you were on the moon and had 5 different jet-like vehicles in front of you that you could get into and drive about.. pointless yet i remember playing it for some reason.

Karma to anyone who correctly names them...

thats the version i've played yet i was sure it wasn't that... the pieces moved to the squares but then the screen changed to a cinematic sequence?

Perhaps the years have messed my memory then...

On the subject of strange 3D game from the past,

Took me ages to rember the name of it but back in 1992 l though the graphics were amazing for something that looks like its been made on MS paint.

I have one I remember. You chased this guy around the world to different places. You got close each time but when you got there, there would be a note saying, "oh you just missed me" and a clue as to where you have to go next.

Also an underwater game with maths questions and I remember warp zones.

Excellent starting part where he pulls one hell of a wheely...and the front wheel goes for a wander.

I used to play the battle chess mentioned in the original post on a £2000 Amstrad. Also played Crystal Maze which was a cracking game.

Ahh, the memories.
