This week, I look at the 8-bit computer classic, Archon. Developed by Free Fall Associates and published in 1983 by Electronic Arts, Archon is a hybrid strategy/action game based loosely on chess. Beloved by fans all over the world, Archon is still amazing fun today and well worth hunting down for its superbly balanced two-player gameplay.
