Different Builds

Chester Classic v2.2 [Recommended] - An enhanced port of the XBLIG game with improvements to controls, visuals, rendering settings, and some minor gameplay changes.
Chester Classic v1.1.5 - The current earliest build of the game I've been able to find.  A more basic port of the XBLIG to Windows; if you don't have a controller you'll probably want to adjust those keybindings pretty quick.

[I will continue to add old builds and alphas as I come across them.]

Note: When switching between builds you will want to back up your save file.  You may be able to carry progress between the two but it could ALSO get very weird.
