There was a good old game I played probably 20-25 years ago. It was a turn based game on a terrain grid and you moved your creatures and fought the AI/hot seat opponent. I remember each creature had a power, like the rock guy could turn into a rock and trick your opponent (worked great against human opponents). Can anyone remember the name of this game? I've tried searching for it like once a year and never come up with anything. I don't even remember the publisher or developer.

I would also guess that it was [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon:_The_Light_and_the_Dark]Archon [/url](on the C64) or Archon Ultra (the later PC version).

Archon for sure.

Thanks for the quick responses. It definitely sounds like Archon but it's not, but with that suggestion I think I was able to finally find what game it was... Dark Legions (1994).

I have never heard of Archon before and I may end up checking it out now LOL.

Thanks again!

You might also like The Unholy War. It's another Paul Reiche designed game with a similar concept to his earlier titles, Archon and Archon Ultra.

I loved Dark Legions back in the day. Archon was much, much simpler but had a similar idea to dark legions.

I think you'll like it. Archon was a great game! But Dark Legions was great too and I really would love to have both here!

Wishlist entries:

Archon

Archon Ultra

Dark Legions
