Archon NES

The forces of light and dark are engaged in a climactic battle, and your decisions and skill will determine its outcome. Based on the computer title from Electronic Arts, Archon for NES is a board game with a twist: you must actively battle your opponent over contested squares. Each side has 18 fantasy creatures to deploy on a 9x9 checkerboard, from lowly knights and goblins to the powerful wizard and sorceress. Your goal is to either eliminate the opposing faction's units or to maintain control over five "power point" squares. When two creatures meet on the same space, a real-time battle ensues on a separate screen, with players directly controlling their character. Each square's color determines which unit, if any, receives a health advantage in combat.

STRATEGY THAT HURTS
A chess board is lined with trolls, wizards, knights, and other
magical beings. Just another strategy game? Don't count on it.
When you challenge a square held by the enemy, the
board explodes into a battlefield. Your
strategic skills on the game
board will determine your
fate in battle as you take
on your opponent in
a heartpounding
duel to the death.
If the Goblin catches air
with his club, the swift
sword of the Knight may
steal a leg or two.
The Sorceress has no fear
of the massive, boulder-
heaving Golem. One of
her powerful spells could
quickly send him into the
next time zone.
With sixteen different
characters and an ever-
changing board, you'll
never play the same
game twice.
