I remember playing around with that lander demo!

These machines had BASIC in ROM, and you could write WIMP programs with it. Lots of fun.



The lander demo is also know as the game Zarch (or Virus for other computers). David Braben (of the Elite[1] fame) wrote that in three months[2] for the release of the Archimedes.
