Laser Lords 1.0.0

Laser Lords (Spinnaker / American Interactive Media, 1992, Philips CD-i), statically recompiled into a native Windows program.

You need your own copy of the disc as an image (the .cue and its .bin, raw 2352-byte sectors). It is not included.

Downloads

• LaserLords-1.0.0-Setup.exe: installer. It installs for the current user, without administrator rights, and asks where the disc image is.
• LaserLords-1.0.0-portable.zip: unzip anywhere and run. Put the disc image in rom\, or pick it when the game asks.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: checksums.

Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. Nothing else needs to be installed.

What's in it

• laserlords.exe is the original edition: the game as the CD-i showed it.
• laserlords_hd.exe is the HD edition:
  • Cartoon HD / Cartoon HD+ upscaling to 1536×960 (F8)
  • run-ahead, to cut input lag (F7)
  • sprite interpolation at 60 fps (F6)
• Both editions: quicksave in 10 slots (F2 save, F3 slot, F4 load) and invincibility (F5).
• Portable: saves, settings and quicksaves stay in the game's folder (saves\, laserlords.ini). Nothing goes to AppData.
• At start the game checks for a newer release and offers to install it. Set update_check=0 in laserlords.ini to turn this off.
