Archon (USA) is a strategy game adapted for the NES, though its original version was likely on another platform. Its history would entail tracing the game's journey from its original platform to the NES adaptation. Gameplay probably involved turn-based strategic combat using fantasy-themed pieces.  The developer and original release date of the game would be helpful in tracing its history.  The NES port's success would also be a key point to consider.
