Sure, Archon was awesome, but when do we get a Mail Order Monsters remake? I need to smack some fools down with an energy mace.

Archon, fuck yeah! I was only introduced to this game about 5 years ago, but I was instantly hooked. Yes, introduced to a game a score old. Weird how that happens. Anyway, can't wait to see what they do with it.

Dude, archon rules. In college like 10 years ago, my buddy and I would drink beers and play that joint all night sometimes!

My fear is that it will end up just like that Archon-like game that was released a few years ago.

Hopefully having the original IP will inspire them to make it better. Needs to be fast fast fast.

@Brodka: Aw, come on, Wrath Unleashed wasn't so bad, I mean, it had its flaws, but deep down- oh, who the fuck am I kidding, what an awful game. The battles were just plain poor and the strategic game itself wasn't interesting. I had such hopes for it, shattered on my first play.

Archon, wow...how many hours did I spend playing this with my brothers? The nice thing was that the characters were pretty balanced. I remember being really good with the pawns.

@lonkley: I was thinking the same thing. I played the tar out of this on my friends C64 and eventually bought it on the NES. This would make the perfect Wii-Ware game.
