Nearly a year ago, React! Games announced plans to bring the classic strategy game Archon to the PC. Now it looks like that time is coming as a new press release announces that they will be taking pre-orders for the PC version on October 15.

The developer first released a version of Archon for the iPhone earlier this summer but for the PC version you can expect lots of additional features such as switching from the original 8-bit artwork to one with enhanced graphics (there's a screenshot of the latter above this post). Also look leaderboards, multiplayer for up to four players, achievements and other features The game itself will be released sometime before the end of 2009. Pricing has yet to be announced. There's also no word on the previously announced Mac and Linux versions.
