You are a │ │ Lander pilot engaged in a series of missions for various research organi- │ │ sations 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 intelli- │ │ gence 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 civilisa- │ │ tion. 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 to the universe. │ │ │ │ Firstoff, OGN released this game at the end of Februari taken from the │ │ psygnosis homepage : www.psygnosis.co.uk/lander/ : Available to purchase │ │ from 2nd July in Europe, 13 July in the US. │ │ │ │ Seems it was OGN this time who got hurt by a beta release some of the │ │ differences are: │ │ │ │ Executables: │ │ D3DPDM lander.exe 679936 6-12-99 3:52p │ │ D3DOGN lander.exe 680448 2-27-99 5:32p │ │ │ │ GLIDEPDM lander.exe 649216 6-12-99 3:53p │ │ GLIDEOGN lander.exe 649216 2-27-99 5:26p │ │ No difference in size, but if you byte/byte compare you'll see │ │ that the files are totally different. │ │ │ │ PDM/SOUND sounds.dat 13609 03-19-99 2:38p │ │ OGN/SOUND sounds.dat 13609 02-18-99 6:05p │ │ byte/byte compare them and you'll see the difference │ │ │ │ SOUND Some files changed name f.e. mscr2-2.wav mscr2-3.wav mscr2-4.wav │ │ mscr2-5.wav etc. are now called mscr2_2.wav mscr2_3.wav mscr2_4.wav │ │ │ │ OGN/MISC/SLIDES6/PC8 files are not included in the final. │ │ │ │ The BRIEFINGR.DLL that's situated in every mission directory is different │ │ │ │ The OGN/MISSIONS/GANYMEDE/1/ sounds.dat is different in the final release │ │ │ │ The OGN/MISSIONS/PLUTO/1/ text.dat is different in the final release │ │ │ │ And quiet some other stuff. Conclusion, the OGN version must have been │ │ a beta. │ │ │ │ Ripped: │ │ ~~~~~~~ │ │ Videos - expect no addon. │ │ │ │ │ │ Installation: │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ Unzip and unace manually or with Install.exe. Run SETUPREG.EXE to setup │ │ your registry.
