We have another appearance for an Acorn Archimedes playing its part in the film "Murder Story". A highlight of the appearance is the upside down mouse usage!

The RISC OS 3 operating system on the Acorn Archimedes A3010 may have released around the mid 1990s, but it still looks so clean and modern...

LOVE IT! ♥️

I am very proud to present the results of my latest project...

...the first-ever fully documented and annotated disassembly of Lander on the Acorn Archimedes.

Lander was the very first game released for the ARM platform, and is arguably the only game ever written explicitly for the original ARM1 processor (there are famously no MUL instructions in there). And, of course, it's the second bona fide classic from the genius of David Braben, as this is the game he wrote next after his astonishing work on Elite.

I will be adding a number of deep dives to the site over the coming weeks, but for now, I hope you enjoy the results, which you can see here:

And as always there is also a GitHub repository containing fully buildable source code that you can play with:

I hope you like it!

The NEW https://www.bbcmicrobot.com gallery is something special 👾

Hundreds of interactive screens generated live by a BBC Micro emulator in a single webpage!

The best part - you can add to it live by sending your toot program to this bot

@SinclairSpeccy I discovered Sodipodi/Inkscape around that time and felt immediately comfortable in it.

It felt very similar to Draw - a vector drawing application that shipped with every RISC OS/Archimedes computer since 1989.

By today's standards it's quite basic, but was very powerful at the time - no other OS came with a free vector art app built in.

I love the Acorn Archimedes RISC OS, so when I spotted a clock in the style of the operating system - well, what could I do...

Now it hangs on my office wall looking splendid, although I may sacrifice accurate time for a peaceful non-ticking sound life 🙃
