xarchon (fantasy-themed board game)
|
|
|
|
Archon: The Light and the Dark is a 1983 video game developed by Free
|
|
Fall Associates and one of the first five games published by Electronic
|
|
Arts. It's similar in concept to Chess, except that landing on another
|
|
player's piece results in an arcade-style fight to determine the victor.
|
|
|
|
xarchon is a rewrite of Archon and Archon II: Adept for modern systems.
|
|
Single-player against the computer is supported, as well as multiplayer
|
|
on the same computer or over the network.
|
|
|
|
xarchon uses esd (the Enlightened Sound Daemon) for audio. esd must be
|
|
running for the game to make sound (e.g. started by ~/.xinitrc, or by
|
|
your desktop environment, or manually by typing "esd &" in a terminal).
