In dull, old-fashioned board games like chess and checkers, the "defending" piece gets removed quietly from the game board with the "attacker" taking the square without an ounce of hostility. In ARCHON, the squares on the board must be fought for!

Story behind the song
This track is a re-imagining of the theme music composed by Tommy V. Dunbar for "ARCHON: The Light And The Dark", the classic action-strategy game from Free Fall Associates released by Electronic Arts in 1983. This rock-oriented cover of the theme music is inspired by the game soundtrack from the Commodore 64 version which has a tempo of about 133.5 BPM.
