Summary

A true classic.

The Good

Well, starting with the gameplay - it's just superaddictive. The sequel (Archon Ultra) capitalizes on the already addictive type of play - sort of a mixture between chess and a fantasy, D&D type of thing. While I'm not sure on what platform the game originated I have to say that the opening music is generally very good, though it sounds horrible on the PC speaker.

The Bad

The graphics are really lame... and the computer is just too dumb.

The Bottom Line

Yet another typical Paul Reiche III classic.
