About Archipelagos Free
"The pacing and visualization of the bizarre game world make the experience more deeply immersive, better realized. Archipelagos' unique combination of strategy with an element of encroaching menace should have similar appeal to a certain set today as it did back in 1989" - 3.5 stars - TouchArcade
"3D classic. A little Minecraft before its time. You've got very little to complain about." - PocketGamer
"This game from the late 80’s stands the test of time and will certainly attract a new audience looking for something unique and different to try out." - iGame Radio

In Archipelagos you are floating just a metre above the ground, as if disembodied, amongst a group of islands known as an Archipelago. Scattered around the Archipelago are stones, and somewhere there is one special stone – the Obelisk. Embodied in the Obelisk, is the power that cleansed the Archipelago of humans in ancient times. And the blood of the ancient times still comes to stain the land surface.

Picture an island of palm and a tropical sea,
that’s where it is you’d like to be.
And if you wonder what’s behind that beach,
just a little out of reach,
just float there and you’ll know.
You could create an Archipelago!

I loved this simple game on the Amiga. This version is not too shabby but the map is tiny and nearly useless, the maneuvering/looking is awkward. Unlike the original 80s game where you were continually looking around and it felt spacious, this is like looking at your feet, peeking around you through a visor and feels trapped and shut in. It's nice that many sounds are similar, but ambient sounds are over loud/oppressive. Don't remember the original being able to reach/do so much from a fixed spot, either.
