| Archon type game... |

| melarky:
A friend of mine played Archon a bunch back in the day (that battle chess type game), and asked me if there was anything like that on arcades. I didn't play the game much, so I've never looked for it before, does anyone kn0w off the top of their head if there is an Archon type game for the arcades? |

never seen it and highly doubt that there is one. Then only table-Top style games in arcade are like Othello, Mahong games...Maybe one of those Megatouch Table Top Video Games, which is basically consist of PC hardware (I think it was a 386 based system) w/special software made for it to accept coins etc... So let say, you can take a PC game (Battle Chess) modiy the game to accept coins and have it Display "Insert Coin" when game is over etc... |

Hmmm... this was never in the arcade (obviously), but there's a game out for the Xbox called "Wrath Unleashed" which draws its roots from Archon. I've enjoyed playing it quite a bit, and I think it can be bought pretty cheaply these days. If your friend owns an Xbox, he ought to check it out. As far as TRUE arcade games? I can't think of a single one. Regards, Corporate Dog |

I loved Archon on my C64... |

The only way to play Archon or Archon II is to use an emulator for which ever machine ( C64, Amiga, etc. )you want to run it on. |
