XArchon - v0.60. Free GNU General Public License source code and Debian, Mandrake and SUSE executables by Ronen Tzur, Galen Johnson, et al. XArchon is a game modeled after the golden oldie Archon game created by Freefall Associates and distributed by Electronic Arts. In this game, the Light Side and Dark Side fight over control of a chess-like board. Each side is composed of 18 fantastic creatures of myth and legend, which are represented by images (or icons). While not identical, the opposing sides are balanced in strength. However, merely moving a creature onto a square occupied by a foe does not win the battle. At this point, game play changes to field mode, and a battle begins. The surviving creature is returned to the board, in control of the disputed square. Human, computer and network play is supported. Requires X11 Windows System and GTK+ 1.2.6 or later.
