That's the thing... each piece you control in Archon does have its own strengths and weaknesses versus all the other pieces, and part of the strategy is to know when to attack and when to hold back. But that's like chess. Unlike chess however, when the Queen attacks a pawn, it is possible in Archon for the pawn to still win!

Ok, I did not understand before the relationship between the upper and lower screens. Makes more sense now.
If ... - I - F - there ends up being an overlay, I think it would look sweet if you eliminated the square boundry lines around the lower sideview screen, and used the overlay for that instead.

Archon was cool indeed, I played it on a friend's C64.

Makes sense either way. The German names definitely set them apart in the Vectrex library and in addition there is no doubt as to who the author is. Love the German names. Would also like to see a fully bi-lingual version of a game be produced. With language selection as a menu option.

But only the Title is in german, so why should I do another Logo for the english title?
Ok guys, after some updates I think I'm coding the most brutal Game in the Vectrex Libary at the moment. The Cut-Scenes make it look a bit harder ^^

The Cut-Scenes make it look a bit harder ^^ Maybe not this title, but another title containing more text. Make it fully multi-lingual with the GCE/MB/Bandai Vectrex release languages German, English (US), English (UK), French (Canadian), French (European), Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Japanese, Whatever else I missed.

IIRC There's around another 90 or so languages currently spoken in the world. That's going to be a hell of a translation job

Yeah, that's to much work ^^ So, here we go, next Video! Now with a few Cutscenes and the first of the 4 Enemies. This one got a knife and his own Cutscene. Now, only 3 left

Instead of points, just have a Body Count.

I think that's an good idea for the Game Over Screen, Body Count besides Score ^^
