Full description: Experience the pioneering blend of strategy and action in Archon: The Light and the Dark, a 1983 classic developed by Free Fall Associates. Drawing inspiration from chess, the game introduces an added layer of complexity with arcade-style battles determining the victor of a square. Each piece possesses unique abilities affecting movement, lifespan, weapon damage and attributes. The game board, similar to a chessboard, contains squares that oscillate between light and dark, adding an element of unpredictability. Victory can be achieved by eliminating all opposing pieces, controlling all five power points, or leaving only one imprisoned piece of the opponent. With its adaptive computer opponent, Archon ensures a challenging and engaging game experience every time.
