I've not seen the black and white version before, but it's so cool, makes it look even more retro! I do remember how slow the first macs were! Thanks so much for sharing this cool retrospective game play! Love it!! 👍 We follow you now and hope to be friends! 💖 Liked!!
Agreed! The high resolution really comes at play compared to its contemporaries. There's so much you can do with lighting, tone, texture with black and white alone.
The more time goes on, the more I realize we were extremely lucky to have had access to 1985-86 era Mac gaming at home. Not many households had splurged for a Mac, let alone any computer of any kind, really.
For a black and white game, Archon truly fits the palette, cmon you can't think this looks ugly and not think that this game is about THE LIGHT AND THE DARK duking it out!

I always find it amazing how good the games are look even though it's just black and white!

Really enjoyed watching this one. What a brilliant idea for a game
Wow, I had no idea Archon was ever made for Mac. Music sounded good.

Good memories of this game.
Still holds up as a way to determine who washes the dishes between roommates/significant others
I really liked Archon back in the day, but unfortunately I was never any good at it. It's great to see someone actually win a fight for a change.
It's those basilisks...if I can survive those, I stand a chance.

The higher res more than compensates for the lack of color
Damn right it does! So nice to look at!
