Archon: The Light and the Dark
Moby ID: 73
PC Booter version
Great Game, Wrong Machine
The Good
The game mechanics are awesome. This game has always reminded me of the Chess sequence in Star Wars.
The Bad
The PC version is such a pale shadow of the game on the Atari or the C64. Not just the colors and the sound, but the fluidity of the character movements and attacks also.
The Bottom Line
One of the classics of the home computer age, but is constantly snubbed when re-released. Sale of the Nintendo version were poor, as well as the updated version Archon Ultra (released by SSI in the early 90's.)
