I bought this a couple days ago and just tried playing it for about an hour. Instantly liked it and I haven't even tired some of the new selling points: local co-op team mode or local vs. mode or the single player campaign mode. I haven't played Archon since the Commodore 64 days and find this to still be a great game and at $2.30 it's a no-brainer. This sale isn't for Steam (it's $9.99 on Steam). Features listed from the website:


Up to 4 Player support...pure mayhem in battle!
Play in "Free-for-All" or "Teams" mode
USB controller support
Optimized to run even on on netbooks
3 Different Boards (Modes) to play
4 AI settings with 3 different personalities
Various spells to use
18 pieces per team, plus others you can summon
Pieces gain experience and level up
Primary and Secondary abilities
Choose modern or classic icons
Fully Featured 1 Player Campaign called, "Conquest"
Conquest features 4 campaigns (over 60 quests)
Over 16 hours gameplay on Conquest alone!
Tracking and Statistics per game (fully featured)
Achievements and Leaderboards

Probably a dumb question, but I downloaded it on a VM and copied the fullgame.zip to my main computer (I don't trust the download manager).

When I try and run Archon it asks me for a serial number and I didn't receive any and nothing is listed in my greenman gaming account.......

help........

I let the Capsule downloader (which is OK to trust) download it and then I pressed "install" from Capsule and it worked fine for me and I don't recall inputting any key nor is such a key listed in my GMG account. I'd recommend you save yourself some trouble and install it the way I did (though I have done it similar to your way w/ a different game I bought from them - Irem Arcade Classics, which never asked for a key)
