Archon: The Light and the Dark

Moby ID: 73

PC Booter version

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.
