Archon: The Light and the Dark was a game developed by Free Fall Associates which loosely modeled the game of Chess, with a number of additions to the gameplay. It was programmed by Anne Westfall, and released originally for Atari 8-bit computers in 1983. It was quickly ported to a number of different systems, and was well-received.

The birth of the battle chess genre. While the mini combat modes are simplistic, the idea of adding these layers to the basic chess game is great and would go on to inspire some really fun games down the line.

I don't understand how to play this and you can't make me learn. >:(

Juego 51: Archon (1983)

Desbalanceado es poco, poquísimo. No se puede casi ni jugar.
