Customer	Review of Archon
Spider-man _from_austria	I played his years back on my atari 800xl, and I didn't though it would get a comeback. Was one of my most liked games and this one on the mobile phone plays exactly like the original! Really good game!
Sergio Truffo	Ok "a perfect adaptation of the great archon" ;-) good explanation for those who already played it. Now, for those who didn't happen to owe a commodore amiga 1000 back in the 80's, here's the catch: you play a game on a chessboard, with 16 "units"(pieces) to move just like you do in a chess game. The main difference is that every time you (or your opponent) try to catch a unit, the screen switches to a 2-dimensional arena where the two units do battle in real time. Each side (the light and the darkness) has different units: some of them fire lightnings, some throw huge stones, some just wield swords. Some fly, some teleport, some just walk. The leaders of each side can cast spells to imprison, revive or summon units. This makes the game a wonderful mix of strategy and action. The game does not work exactly like the original. Some creatures operate slightly differently, which, imho, is an added bonus (i was initially worried about finding the game boring, since I played it so many times already on my pc). A must have for all chess-variants addicted!
Colin Parsons	Good, old school fun.
