Remember Archon, the title that made its first appearance in 1983 on the Atari 8-bit computer, and was ported to the good old Spectrum? Myriad Interactive have picked it up in their latest licensing round.

�We are incredibly pleased to have signed this brand. Archon is a well respected license that has huge nostalgic value for the right reasons - the gameplay, the great combination of strategic thinking and the intense arcade action,� says Leo Zullo, founding Partner, Myriad Interactive.

�Archon was such a favorite that we�re pleased to make it available to a new generation. We look forward to a new version of the game that combines the fun and spirit of the original with today�s exciting technology,� says Jon Freeman, Creative Director & Partner, Free Fall Games.

�We believe now is the right time to bring Archon back and look forward to presenting the concept to a new generation of gamers, as well as those that remember it 1st time around,� Zullo concludes.

Archon will be published through the Mercury Games brand, and details on the formats will be released soon.
