Archon Remake Preorders and Pre-Beta [Nov 10, 2009, 6:27 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Archon Classic Website now offers preorders of React Games' remake of the old school strategy/action game. They are offering those who order in advance a $5.00 discount off the regular price and immediate access to the pre-beta version of the game. They also offer new screenshots, and there's a new teaser trailer for the game on the YouTube. Word on the game is: "Our game is ARCHON and is a refreshing blast from the past, which features the perfect mix of Action and Strategy. In fact, it actually started the whole Strategy/Action genre of current games. You try and out-maneuver your opponents on a checkered (Strategy) board, then crush them in a Combat Arena, once your pieces meet."
There was a sequel on the Amiga that was even better. Archon 3 maybe? The field was not square. The original was great though. I loved rocking the djinn's whirlwind. Starcontrol 2 Mellee reminded me of it a lot, I wish that game had have had a strategic portion for multiplayer!
There was a sweet VGA clone of Archon in the 486 days as well. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called, I think it might have been an Origin game, but maybe the choppy performance just makes me think it was.
