    Default MODERN Gamers Alert! ARCHON Returns!

    With all the hype and glitz that has accompanied certain MODERN games in the past week, and with WARFARE in the news, we offer our own take on a classic game that has a DRAGON, and other mythical creatures. It hails from an AGE of early gaming, 1983, to be exact and features SUPER gameplay, not your typical MARIOnette characters that your BROTHERS used to play.

    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. If you haven't played it, you're missing a great game, like the following sites have commented:

    Hopefully, someone somewhere will re-release [Archon] in it's brilliant original form for Windows XP sometime so that more gamers can experience this great treat.”
    GameFAQ – 10 out of 10

    Archon is a great example of a terrific game that should be remade...and it's what we're still waiting for today.”
    GameSpot – 9.7 out of 10

    Archon, one of the most original and successful games...blended strategy, action, chess, fantasy monsters, and magic spells in a surprising and delightful way.”

    Sure smells like spam in here.

    Especially because this same post was made at several gaming boards. Not cool.

    And the use of keywords in capitals is pathetic too.

    There have been several attempts at Archon remakes/updates and they have all been pretty mediocre. This wasn't even developed my anyone from the original Archon team. This is just one of those games that is better in classic form.
