ARCHON

I'm probably showing my age AND geekiness but does anyone remember ARCHON? A game for the Apple II that was an animated chess match between light and dark forces. To capture a piece you had to fight on a battlefield and each piece had different attacks...

Anyone...anyone...

I loved that game, except I played it on the Commodore.. I used to be able to go through the complete opponents team with the unicorns on white, or the basilisks on black.. those were quick!

I only had a spectrum but I do remeber playing at friends houses😲

Me too. I never had a Spectrum version, I am quite sure it was the Amiga version I played to death.

The Pheonix was kinda cool too but I think the Balisk was the best.

for those that miss all these games, you can go to www.c64.com and download a c64 emulator, and the game Archon is there.. as well as all the other great commodore games.
