Which reminded me of space exploration, which got going with Frontier Elite 2 which we played at university in the computer lab after dinner in the mensa. And resulted into the second biggest gaming project which I recently restored (links and pictures)

I played Elite on C64 and that was for me mindblowing experience (apart for pen&paper D&D, that's probably the game that most influenced my gaming taste). It didn't run half bad either...well for that era. I had Frontier first on Amiga 500...that was quite a slide show...only later I've played it on PC, where it ran smoothly, but by that time First Encounters (Elite 3) already came out ('95) and my focus was almost solely on that one.

Elite Dangerous has been patiently sitting in my library for so long...never touched it...I know I would have to say goodbye to my dear ones for at least a month, which is not an option. My younger son have shown interest in it (via Quest 2), so I guess at least it stays in the family.
