LEAF is a game for the Acorn Archimedes which I started in 98, returned to and finished in 2003, never actually released, but displayed at galleries until my A3010 disk drive got tired of touring.

You next have to tell Arculator you’re running RiskOs3
Leaf was created on an A3010 which has this CPU type:
