Albert Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I tested the hacked version and the player 2 fire (right) fire button now works in the same way as the player 1 button. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amityville315 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 That's excellent news. Archon lives! Do the spells work too? Same button as firing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Al and the folks on this forum for getting the bug fixed. Al's customer service is top notch. Very impressed. Great, glad to hear the cart arrived and you had a chance to test it out! I loved playing Archon and Archon II on the Atari 8-bit computers back in the day, so it was fun playing it again on the 5200. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amityville315 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 A remake of Archon could be really cool. The battles could be in a 3-D realm like Mortal Kombat. The strategy side is essential to keep though. On Mortal Kombat Deception (PS2), they had a "chess mode" that was very similar to Archon with spells and everything. Unholy War was a knock off on the PS1 as well. Still, the charcters and premise of the original are classic. The Dragon's slithery movement is a nice touch. The sound fx are also quite good. Unicorns gallop, you hear the flap of the wings of the Phoenix... Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzep Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not meaning to bump an old thread but is it still possible to get a cart of this (with the coding fix)? And has anyone ever made a cardboard box for it? I'm not talking about the plastic clam case that has been available from the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaserCat Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Good Deal Games sells this on cart. Colour me curious about the cardboard box as well. Edited November 19, 2017 by LaserCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Alexander Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Got my Copy for Albert less than a year ago so I hope it is the fixed version. I bought the clam shell with Archon Cover off of eBay. Would love to have an actual box for this excellent game that stands the test of Time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
