A very nice concept, spent hours on it.
Glad to see it coming back!

But anyways, I played and liked both... but I think it's Dark something I had on CD.

I remember playing the demo of it, but it sucked: With all the pretty (DOS-era) VGA graphics and stuff, they neglected to make sure the PC would scale in order to run it.
In other words, back on the ATARI 800, an Archon match was often won or lost on micro-second flicks of the wrist on the joystick (especially melee fighters vs phoenix and the like). But on the PC version, the movement was sluggish and slow-responsive. Gave up in frustration before I was able to complete a single match.
If they make sure that that angle is covered ("Speed Uber Alles, will scale back graphics to make sure responsiveness is high"), though, I'll totally be all over this version.

I know Eidos weren't doing too good before the buyout but selling herself for Battle Chess? How the mighty have fallen.

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