Synopsis

Lander is an action shooter game developed in-house at the Manchester office of Psygnosis. It was released for Microsoft Windows in 1999 and published under the Psygnosis label shortly before the Manchester office was closed and the Psygnosis label was fully absorbed into Sony Computer Entertainment. Lander is inspired by the classic game Thrust (and, to a lesser extent, Lunar Lander), and features similar gameplay of controlling a ship with realistic thrust and inertia, but with a new 3D game environment. Critically, the game was badly received by most critics, but had occasional highly positive reviews by those who had found the control system to be rewarding rather than frustrating.
