Archon I + II C64 piano arrangements

Home gig #25, May 11 2020. Archon is a great mix of strategy (like chess) and hand-eye coordination, one of my favorite games on Commodore 64. The title music for Archon I and II is very similar but the chromatic thirds are in reverse direction :) These thirds are the hardest part of the piece!
Composer: Tommy V. Dunbar, 1983, 1984

[@Kriswixx]

This was my favorite of all game intros. This and mule. You're a wizzard harry.

I´m 42. C64 was my first contact with computer gaming back in the 80s. What a joy! Thanks to this channel, that wonderful world can pass on to the next generation. :-) My 6 yo son actually loves listening to your Archon and Spy vs. Spy performances. Congrats!

So awesome!!! Subscribing! I looked for this to see if I needed to do it. I think I STILL do

[@hoi-polloi1863]

Oh hell to the yeah, great job! I always loved the Archon series music, and your rendition was spot-on. Say, if you're looking for another project, you can see the sheet music for Adventure Construction Set for C64, here: th-cam.com/video/088JC01J5kk/w-d-xo.html ... not like I'm *hinting* or anything...

Don't try Archon 3. It sounded like a face-roll on glass it sucked so bad.

[@House-Of-Dagda]

Holy Fuck! Spot on! Popped in to your head didn't it?

[@0blivioniox864]

That's awesome.. haha.. glad someone else appreciates these little Archon tunes enough to learn them on piano 😄 They've invaded my mind many times over the last 40 years.

Just subscribed! Masterful piano rendition of Archon & Archon II Adept (these are personal C64 favorites). Thoroughly enjoying the channel, keep 'em coming!

[@neojeets]

Great job!

[@PhoenixGodwin]

Awesome playing! Could you do the battle music as well?

[@RetroPianoGuy]

If you can find a SID for it, I can probably transcribe the music. Post a link if you find it!

[@Lofote]

What battle music? Archon and Adept didn't have one.

[@diabelez]
