I have played many games of both ArchonI and ArchonII on a 28Mhz 9M GVP
030 equipped Amiga 2000, using KS 1.3.
For Archon II I used a program called FIXEA, which just modified the
bootblock to mask out all fast memory. It used to be on all the BBS's.
I wrote a preboot and patch for Archon I, and uploaded it to some
ftp sites, but it required one to manually tweek ones bootblock using
DiskX or something like that, and required a preboot which ASSUMES
that one as 2M of expansion ram starting at $200000 (I think).
It worked but was ugly. Many people have gotten it to work on their
systems.
It is possible, just not easy.

I haven't been able to play Archon since I got my A2500 (also with GVP 030 card and 9Mb! :-) Ta.
