Im so proud to be from a generation that hears the name "Archon" and thinks fondly back to the days when Electronic Arts elegantly packaged this work of genius. What a concept! Does it get any geekier than this? Highly unlikely. Theres more goodness in the free version of this classic than a majority of the full versions you find in the App Store. But please do yourselves and the developers a favor and buy this game now. Dont put it off anymore. Even without the new update today, Archon would be cheap at ten times the price. You read that correctly. Think about it! Its like chess where your pieces have powers and abilities. Not only that, but the action combat sequences really make you earn that square.
It just begs the question--could Archon II: Adept be far behind? I hope not. Id also like to see a new version of this gem come to the PC and Mac! Please say itll happen and I can die happy.
One more thing--is there any way the old Commodore 64 version could be included as an unlockable feature? That would be a reason to buy an iPhone in and of itself. Thank you so much for bringing back one of my all-time favorite games. It shows class and sophistication like no other developer. Bless you.
