ARCHON: 
By far my favorite 8 bit Atari Game. You play on a chess board
against the computer or a fellow player. You may be either the light or
dark side and the goal is to defeat your opponent in one of two ways.
(1) you can defeat every one of his minions in battle or (2) you can
take all of the power points on the screen. Just like a chess game you
move your players from one space to another. If you land on a space
where an enemy resides, the battle screen appears and you must defeat
that enemy. In this way, the game has both strategy and action. Again
like a chess game, each minion has special and unique abilities. For
example, there are the ultra fast unicorns, the slow but strong golems,
the shape shifter, knights, and the strongest wizard and sorceress. This
game Rocks! I have not found an 8 bit game that equals it in its balance
between strategy and action. |
