A pair of 13 year olds worked on a game they called Archon III: Exciter for a while, never completing it, and the beta version widely circulated the internet, until eventually myth mixed in with fact and it was wrongly believed to be a genuine unreleased official follow-up.
There is actually a third way to win the game besides controlling all five powerpoints and destroying all enemy creatures. You also win if you manage to imprison the last remaining creature of the opposing side.

One of the four large meeting rooms on the first floor of the "Mission Control" building of Electronic Arts Redwood City, CA campus is named Archon. The four meeting rooms are named after EA's first four games.
This game has been ported to the Palm OS (Palm Pilot/Handspring Visor) to very mixed reviews.
Archon III was developed, but apparently was never released. Archon II was developed, but only released for the Apple II and Commodore 64.
