Lander. As I recall, Acorn did a bit of an Apple and created something technically rather good, but then made a bit of a hash of the marketing/sales.

10 times faster than the PC of its day. RISCOS was quite good, so its ideas have been cannibalised: see http://rox.sourceforge.net/ There's a Linux port of Zarch, the game Lander was cut down from, but it's binary-only against old libs, I think. Someone should email the author and ask them to release the source so that the buffer overflow root exploit against it can be closed... -- MJR
