| the_dengle said: I've never heard of Elite, but apparently I'm missing out -- kind of. The game he describes sounds almost identical to Ambrosia's Escape Velocity series, which I have had the pleasure of playing, but with multiplayer. I guess Escape Velocity was pretty thoroughly inspired by Elite or something. |
Yeah, back in the day (think 80s), I remember Elite as something that was out of any competition or categories - if you were computer oriented, even for people that haven't played it, it was well known and praised phenomenon. It was model for all later space trader/space simulator games. I played the shit out of it and its sequels (C64, Amiga and PC), so this is really something I'm looking forward to.
