Archon for the TI-99/4A

Most gamers of a certain vintage have played Archon, a cross between fantasy chess and arcade-style combat, which was available on most classic platforms of the early 80's... except for the TI 99/4A sadly. Well weep no more! Here's a very faithful conversion of the game for our beloved TI which finally rightens that misguided ommission. In a nutshell, the forces of light and dark are continuing their age old struggle for dominance which curiously gets played out tactically on a chess-like board using fantastic and terrifying creatures with various destructive abilities which you pit against your opponent, whether another human or the competent AI. And once two protagonists meet in a square, then it's individual combat to the death in a separate arena where your reflexes are put to the test using the keyboard or joysticks. But there is a lot more to the game than that, with light and dark cycles which favor one or the other side, magic spells, and power points which you need to control
