Welcome ladies and gentlemen!
This week we tackle an interesting and unusual action game for the NES, Archon!

Our competitors will abide to the following rules when defeating this evil beast:
  • You play as Light Army
  • You start first
  • Participation point: Finish a game, win or lose.
  • If you lose the game, your score will be 1000 + enemy remaining units
  • If you win the game by occupying all magic fields your score will be 500 - your remaining units + enemy remaining units
  • If you win the game by killing all the enemies units, your score will be Number of turns to win - your remaining units.
  • Take your picture when you win or lose the game
  • Lowest score takes the win.
  • Genre: Action
The contest ends Sunday, 9/01/19 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.

Maybe give this game another go after reading the manual.
Also might not. First time playing this game and I've gotta say.... not a classic, that's for sure.

I'm up getting ready for the day. I really don't have to get up until 4 but half the time i wake up in between 1-3am then can't go back to sleep. I pick up rascal from "kiddie campus" around 3:30. I went to bed at 9.... I think this is why I only play 5-10 games a year anymore lol 😂

Yeah, this week pick is pretty much the results of my own obsession with this game. Weird rules to get it work as a contest as well.

It's sort of a classic, but  I admit it is not a sure shot favorite.

It may not be a fan favourite, but hey, we gotta try stuff to see how it goes!

Fun game. More people should give it a try. This is one of the NES games I would most like to see on Switch for the online play. While I have had fun with it playing single player, I'd like to try playing against other people someday.
