Archon - Atari 8-bit

Archon - Amiga version

Archon - C64 version

Archon: The Light and the Dark - a chess-like board where players command armies of light and dark fantasy creatures. Strategy + Action. Born on the Atari 8-bit, but I became a hit thanks to the C64 version. One of my favorite C64 games ever #retrogames #c64 #archon #atari8bit

International Karate +, created by Archer MacLean in 1987, is one of those games that defined an era. 🥋

Actraiser for the SNES. A mix of Lionheart, SimCity, and Populous, with some RPG elements too. Have you ever played it? #retrogrames #snes #platformer #godgame

Ahh makes sense then! Amazing c64 pixel art

Great job in any case. It remind me of Eye of the beholder for C64

This is amazing! I wonder if they use SCUMM, since scumm was created for the c64, but monkey island was never released for the c64. But in theory it could be done.

The Chaos Engine (1993) has some of the best graphics seen on the Amiga. It is the first game the Bitmap Brothers developed originally for the Amiga (not the Atari ST), and the results are visible. It was also ported to Genesis and SNES. #retrogames #amiga #bitmapbrothers

I know Monkey Island 1 and 2 weren't commercial successes, but when Day of the Tentacle arrived in 1993, I remember everyone was talking about it. Maybe it was the title that really launched LucasArts adventures

I still have the box. Such a great game. Pity i never bought the expansions

Sierra literally invented graphic adventures but playing those games was often a pain. Personally I never finished any Sierra adventure. Lucasarts perfected the game design, introduced point and click, and made those games fun to play. No surprise lucasarts adventures are still loved today

You are right, the EGA version looks very similar to the Atari ST one. It’s not bad. Anyway the Amiga one is better. I am actually surprised the Amiga version is not a simple port of the Atari ST, it was a common practice, instead they remade it for the Amiga.

Thanks a lot!!

Lol now you make me feel guilty I just barely mentioned the NES version in the article. I will have to expand it 😂

I didn’t have a NES so I only tried the NES version recently on the emulator and I was surprised how good it is. But yeah clearly the original is better.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate (1992). NPCs had daily schedules. Bread baked in real ovens. You could pick up and move almost any object in the world. I spent so many hours on this game. Still one of the greatest RPGs ever made. 🗡️ #RetroGaming #DOS #Ultima #RPG

My god, I'm so curious to try this. Have you already posted it on the Lexaloffe forum?

Thank you! I’m glad you agree 😊
