Archon Ultra

Archon Ultra is an action-strategy video game developed by Free Fall Associates and published by Strategic Simulations in 1994 for MS-DOS.

It is a remake of the 1983 game Archon: The Light and the Dark which was one of the first releases from Electronic Arts.

[1] Computer Gaming World approved of how Ultra's new features made the game "worthwhile to players of the original" without "destroy[ing] the balance of the original", and noted the computer opponent's skill in the middlegame and endgame.

"[1] PC Gamer (US) reviewed the game with a 76% Final Verdict, saying that the combination of strategy and arcade sequences give Archon Ultra great replay value.

[3] James V. Trunzo reviewed Archon Ultra in White Wolf #45 (July, 1994), giving it a final evaluation of "Excellent" and stated that "If you love the strategy and tactics of chess and the excitement of using dragons, trolls, basilisk and banshees, you must rush out and buy Archon Ultra.
