The easiest way to play Lander is online. The "Play online" links below will run the game right here in your browser, using the Archimedes Live emulator.
If you want to play the game on a real vintage computer or in an emulator that you've installed on a modern machine, then there's also a link to the relevant zip files. To play Lander from a zip file, I recommend using HostFS to copy the files onto your machine while retaining the correct RISC OS file types.
Playing Lander
--------------
There is only one official version of Lander, which you can play using these links:
- Lander
- Play online
- Download a zip file for Arthur or RISC OS
- More information
The game is identical in the Arthur and RISC OS versions, but it is packaged differently: the Arthur version is an Absolute file, while the RISC OS version is an application with an encrypted !RunImage.
Playing BigLander
-----------------
I have also created BigLander, which is Lander but with a much bigger landscape. This needs a more powerful computer to work properly, so it's available in a number of different sizes. Here are some options for playing BigLander:
- BigLander (19 x 19 tiles, suitable for ARM3 machines)
- BigLander (64 x 64 tiles, suitable for a Risc PC)
- BigLander (121 x 121 tiles, suitable for a Raspberry Pi)
You can also build BigLander with a custom landscape size; see the accompanying repository for more information.
