This video came as part of the Learning Curve package from Acorn when you bought an A3000 computer at the time.

I miss those days. Everything was clinical, methodical and precise. In my last year at school, they were transitioning to the Archimedes. It was a good educational machine for its time.

I just love these vintage tech clips... I grew up with the BBC Micro. Cannot recall that it had a GUI like the Acorn. PS. In my country we call it a 'stiffy', not a 'floppy'.

I`ve got an Acorn A3000 with monitor and 3 button mouse. I don`t like turning it on as it`s worth too much money lol.

While the Archimedes never went very far beyond primary school classrooms for many of us, it was the first ever production computer to use an ARM processor, the CPU architecture used to power modern smartphones, tablets, Raspberry Pis, and numerous other devices.

nothing more satisfying than a floppy disk whirling in the floppy drive

Great to see this blast from the past! Wonder why !Lander seemed to have the sound track from E-type Jag though!

@ms-ex8em

the sound of lander still remains a mystery even today !! strange a bit though ive been wondering this since 12 years ago or so ........................

@ms-ex8em

My first computer. Oh the memories

@sun-groupecommunications1331

Minimalist but very pleasant, exactly what I love.

@berthold64

50fps capture looks so nice

@ms-ex8em

how can u be 100 % sure (positive) though that e type jaguar was used as the sound for lander back in 1989 ?? thanks..............

@jonjohnson2844

Sounds like USB would blow his mind, "how do I know which socket it goes in", "it doesn't matter", "What?"

@ME-ke7qc

a pointer controlled by the mouse....i hope this catches on i really do.

@neuzethmusic131

Well I know a mouse. It is inside my cat.

@ms-ex8em

yep im wondering the same thing - lander here HAS GOT sound whereas todays demo (the same exact thing) doesnt have ANY sound at all !!!??!!!!!!!!!!!! which is strange though a bit ?? thanks........ maybe David Braben kept the sound version to himself and distributed the one without sound maybe (just a thought)?? thanks................
