The current "Retro" gaming explosionproves that there's still a part of us that really hankers for thesprite-based, macropixel goodness of home computing's formative period.One of the most fondly-recalled stalwarts of this period is an old Apple][/C64 strategy fave, "Archon".

The Iconfactory has recreated the characters of thisMyth-style battler based on the original chunky bitmaps, but he hasfleshed them out in a very modern way! An entire range of magicaldenizens is here: wizards and sorceresses, unicorns and dragons - nomatter how you like your gaming pixels, there's bound to be something inthis set for you.
