│ Blast off to a brave new world with Lander for PC CD-ROM and DVD ROM │
│ with Dolby Digital (TM) sound. No ordinary sci-fi adventure, this is a │
│ truly unique flying experience which tests your skill against the forces │
│ of gravity and treacherous environments within the solar system. Take │
│ command of your very own interplanetary Lander craft, learn to master │
│ its controls and you may just survive. │
│ │
│ Lander has an inspired pedigree, recalling old favourites like Gravitar, │
│ Thrust, and Lunar Lander, though crucially building on this heritage to │
│ create an utterly modern experience. Played out in spectacular 3D, Lander │
│ challenges gamers to master intricate flight dynamics, before jetting off │
│ to progressively more difficult moons and planets. Flying both above and │
│ below the surface, there's salvage to recover, seek and destroy missions │
│ to undertake, puzzles to solve, and a mysterious plot to unravel. │
│ │
│ Countless man-hours have been invested in the control system at the │
│ heart of Lander, with a complex physics model which offers craft handling │
│ unlike anything else. Using a unique mouse-based system to work the │
│ craft's thrusters, it gives pilots the ability to navigate with │
│ unparalleled degree of control. A single burst of thrust can make all the │
│ difference between life and death. And just when those subtleties have │
│ been mastered, there's each mission's unique environment and atmospheric │
│ conditions to deal with, plus the extra challenge of transporting │
│ mysterious objects and probes using a precarious pendulum type attachment │
│ which affects the handling of the craft. │
│ │
│ Lander is no mindless shoot-'em-up, but then it's no stuffy simulation │
│ either. Action packed, unique and nail-biting in single-player mode, it │
│ also offers an incredible multi-player challenge. 16 player Deathmatch │
│ games can be fought out over a LAN or the Internet, each struggling to │
│ keep shields intact and fuel supplies topped up while battling it out or │
│ play co-operatively. Genre busting yet inspired by the gameplay-led │
│ titles of yesteryear, Lander is nothing less than a giant leap for PC │
│ gaming. │
│ │
│ Psygnosis will be one of the first developers to bring a DVD-ROM game to │
│ market. The DVD version combines MPEG2 video, Dolby Digital(TM) and 5.1 │
│ channel interactive sound effects. DVD capabilities include a multiple │
│ camera angle feature that allows you to switch from FMV sequences to view │
│ the wire-frame graphics from which they have been constructed. │
│ │
│ Lander is developed by Psygnosis. Minimum system requirements - Pentium │
│ 166 MMX with 32 MB RAM and 3D accelerator card. Recommended system │
│ requirements - Pentium II 233Mhz with 32 MB RAM and 3D accelerator card. │
│ │
│ As you control a jet powered interplanetary Lander, constantly fighting │
│ the forces of gravity to stay aloft and complete the missions. You are a │
│ Lander pilot engaged in a series of missions for various research │
│ organisations to perform different tasks (destroying objects, │
│ transporting items, solving puzzles). Once you have learnt to master the │
│ Lander you start to become embroiled in a mysterious plot involving alien │
│ intelligence which goes back to the very origins of humanity. Features │
│ strong piloting element with puzzles and adventure. Addictive gameplay │
│ combined with an eerie immersive storyline. │
│ │
│ As you undertake a once in a lifetime journey across the solar system to │
│ seek your fortune. However, when you are hired to undertake a supposedly │
│ scientific expedition to an ancient Mayan site on Earth, you embark on a │
│ far deeper, mysterious and eventually revelational adventure. An artefact │
│ is discovered. An extraterrestrial object left by some unknown │
│ civilisation. And the key to it's origin seems to lay among the outer │
│ reaches of our planets. Powerful corporations want the secret you are on │
│ the way to discovering, millions are at stake and each faction will stop │
│ at nothing to discover the key. │
│ │
│ The Lander has been designed with extreme manoeuvrability in mind, making│
│ it ideal for use in situations where close control and rapid direction │
│ changes are required. Before attempting to take your Lander into the air, │
│ enter the first training mission and let the craft settle on the ground. │
│ To lift the Lander off the ground, tap the left mouse button to engage │
│ thrust. The Lander will lift off the ground, then settle back down when │
│ the engine cuts out. │
│ │
│ Tap the thrust button repeatedly to make the craft hover, though don't │
│ move the mouse yet - just feel how the thrust control responds to your │
│ taps on the left mouse button. You will only need to move the Lander │
│ vertically during the first part of the training mission so other planes │
│ of movement have been disabled. │
│ │
│ Once you enter the second part of the mission, the craft's tilting system│
│ is enabled. Move the mouse and observe the indicator in the screen's │
│ bottom right corner as it changes. The red wire frame shows you the │
│ actual orientation of the Lander (as the craft is currently on the │
│ ground, this will not be moving) while the green indicator will be moving │
│ in relation to the mouse. The Lander's flight system responds to mouse │
│ movements and tilts the craft in the appropriate direction; however, │
│ while the craft is on the ground, this system cuts out. Once you take the │
│ craft into the air, these mouse movements will actually tilt the Lander │
│ in the corresponding direction. │
│ │
│ The Mars Central Government Agency (MCGA) is the main governing and │
│ legislative body in the solar system. MCGA is superficially a democracy, │
│ with a president selected by a board of directors. These directors, │
│ currently numbering about 750, are drawn from a combination of elected │
│ representatives, senior departmental managers, and military chiefs. │
│ │
│ MCGA is a vast, sprawling, impersonal bureaucracy; as such is incapable │
│ of having major long term objectives, other than self perpetuation, and │
│ maintenance of the status quo. It's role in this story is provide a social│
│ and economic framework to the environment, and as a tool which certain │
│ individuals and organisations can use to their own end. │
│ │
│ Although powerful, MCGA's resources are spread wide across the solar │
│ system, this coupled with the external interests of many senior figures, │
│ leave an organisation that is sluggish at the best of times when reacting │
│ to outside events. │
│ │
│ │
│ Enjoy this one, more are coming. │
