looks like it has potential...
Retro classic Archon will be returning to the PC after more than 26 years of drifting, forgotten through the miasma of license and development troubles, according to React Games. Archon, for those not in the know, is a highly regarded strategy-action game, which combines a Chess-like strategy element with simple one on one action battles between different pieces. React Games previously bought the game to the iPhone too, with a second Archon game on the way called Archon: Conquest. The new iPhone title will include four single player campaigns, 60 quests and support for Ngmoco's Plus+ service as well. The new PC game will update the classic gameplay with a graphical overhaul, four-player multiplayer, new boards and a series of achievements and leaderboards. Players will be able to switch between a retro and modern tileset too. If I have nothing to do, I sometimes play this game.
thank you very much. I have learned a lot
ShyannG, thanks for t he info. Went to the Archon site but it does not seem clear (to me) when or even IF the game will be available for the PC. If/When it is, I want it. Really enjoyed playing it on my first computer, a Comodore 64.
Oh wow this post brought back a lot of memories. I spent countless hours playing the original as well as Archon 2 on the Commodore. Excellent game! Always loved getting into the battle mode and was always scared of the Juggernaut.
How can I buy this game for the PC? I clicked on the link on the website, but it took me to Apple's iTunes site.
It's not released for the superior PC yet. They want the PC version to be superior with more content and takes some time. The site admin said on 2 Oct that next week would have an announcement but its been 2 weeks now and no announcement...hopefully it's not far.
Oh okay, thanks for the explanation.
I have a relative that works at React. They finished the iPhone one, which is pretty cool. I don't know when they PC version will be done.
cool. i think this is going to be great.
