First time hearing about it

By the time it got to the NES it was a 6 year old game and very very outmoded despite the graphical enhancements here.

The NES port is pretty difficult compared to many of the original home computer versions because it's a lot faster, the Unicorn's shot is hard to dodge while I could avoid it on the IBM version easily.

That's a bit zoomer-ish tbqh

very fun 2 player game

it's nice that the game is otherwise a straight port and they didn't turn it into chibi nonsense like Lode Runner and Boulder Dash

Neat concept, got me hooked on strategy RPGs instead of regular chess as a kid.

Archon is in the top 3 for NES PVP games:
>Spy vs Spy
>Archon
>Super Dodge Ball (which is a combat game disguised as a sports title)

Nothing else comes close to these 3 in that era.
