Archon Remake
« on: June 22, 2010, 11:35:06 am »
Many of you might remember the game Archon (was originally an Atari game, but had ports to Apple II, C64, etc).

React!Games is releasing a remake which looks like it might be cabinet-friendly.  It appears to support gamepads, has AI, and supports anywhere from 1-4 players.

The original:


The remake:


Good stuff.  :)

Very cool. I hope they don't get sued. And it's officially licensed!

Yep, not bad for $14.99.

I played the heck out of that game as a kid.  :)

Cool. I remember Archon. I bet my daughter would really dig that new version, combines Chess with fighting games, both of which she likes!

Holy crap thanks for the link!  I've been looking for a good Archon remake ever since I retired my C64.

Sounds kinda familiar.  Wasn't there a PC version of the original as well?

I'm pretty sure there was a PC version. Pretty sure that's what I played... Hmmm. or maybe it was an AppleII+ version. It's been awhile...

I LOVE the C=64 version of this game.  Dig the box art, I plan on getting a tattoo of this some day, minus the text.  (try to out-dork THAT!)  :laugh:

LOL I used to love this game on the Apple][.  I used to beat the crap out of the computer with just one or two of the pieces.  Guess I didn't learn much about the chess/strategy part of the game.  ;D
