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?
Thenasty:
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.

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.
