Thank you for your work here. Found this while researching board games based on Freefall's Archon video game.

Great breakdown. I'm surprised you didn't mention that the computer cheats once you start winning regularly. It's subtle at first, but one day I won something like 12 games in a row against the computer, and imagine my surprise when, with its very first move, the computer revived a Basilisk. Since it already had both its Basisiliks it had to place the new one in front of its goblins. That was enough for me. I haven't played a complete game in the 25 years since.

I've always loved this game. I have much respect for the care delivered in this page, very informative. I own the NES version. Until now, I've always enjoyed attacking the ShapeShifter with the Phoenix on White when playing computer. I drive SS into corner and burn. I then proceed to attack a helpless Banshee next move. I never tried attacking Dragon, but what I've learned from this site about 1 shot every 2 seconds, I'm gonna fight fire with fire. Thanks!

I loved this game until I figured out I could win every time in just 5 moves.
Every. Freakin. Time.

I've undertaken the task of designing a board game version of the game.. and this information has been invaluable.

Thanks!!

don't make them like they used to - bring back 'playability'
