Archon: The Light and the Dark Returns
January 7th, 2009 by CrusaderKotaku reported recently that React!Games has acquired the license to the classic Atari title Archon: The Light and the Dark:
We are moving as fast as possible to get it out by fall 2009 (at the latest). Our goal is to get it out on all the platforms, but the only ones that are “officially announced” are the PC, Mac, Linux. Please tell everyone to register on the forums and give us your two cents…we are using the forums to help guide us in making this game for the fans. So every opinion counts!
You can follow their progress at the dev blog.

Linux version?
I’m not a programmer but it seems to me that the engine would be a pretty easy port. I’d love to play this on “Penguin Play”!

Well there has already been an Archon clone for Linux for quite some time.
