I remember when my dad walked in from work one day with Elite under his arm, dont think I stoped for months! A game way ahead of its time... and addictive!
Ill have a search through later see what games ive got, loads i know!
Did you have the tape version of Elite or the disk one? The tape was a con - the instruction book even said half the features, e.g. military lasers, weren't available on tape. What it didn't say was that you couldn't get beyond "Competent" rank, though. I played it for 9 months on the tape and then got the disk version for Christmas. Within two months I was Elite and had done the missions.
And did you read the novella that came with the game? I think I've still got that at home, someplace safe. I'll dig it out after work.
