Jeez an Amiga cd 32!!!! Always wondered who bought the other one!!
Remember it very well spent a lot of time with Elite and Wasteland in the 80's
I belong to a 150+ strong clan of 25+ gamers, mostly playing FPS games. The oldest member is in his 60's and is a demon on drums in Rockband
I have been playing Computer games since they were invented and they will have to pry the controller from my cold, dead hands....
We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing

That was pretty good too, remember that gem. Frontier got more RAM time though
I used a program which you plug a tape deck into the soundcard (on the P.C.) and sample old speccy data.
In combination with an emulator, you can load up your old commanders!
Bit rusty after all this time though...
I liked the Music in FOFT. I even did a remix of it. The game was rather clunky compared to Elite though
Might have to see if I can locate a MIDI file of the Elite music and have a bash at that

Nintendo insisted in the NES version that narcotics be removed, and slaves had to be robot slaves!

I think I can understand why they don't believe me.

long time ago so really in truth I can hardly remember,
I know me and my brother used to take turns flying, you were allowed to kit the ship out and use everything, your turn ended when you got killed or flew back to a station.
I had a spectrum 48k but I dont know if it was that we played on more likely it was my Commodore 64 with a tape.

Amstrad Action chose Elite as its game of the century or something and gave it away for free on its covertape in the early 90s. Whacked it in my CPC6128 and was hooked! Remember losing no end of ships trying to dock in those tiny little wire frame slots - thank God for docking computers back then. Later played Elite Plus and then Elite 2 on the PC - I remember getting to earth and touring the space docks of Paris, London, Tokyo etc desperately trying to make money in a shuttle after burying my Cobra in the dirt trying to tour dear old Blighty. Does anyone remember an Elite 3? Or maybe it was an Elite 2 expansion? Aliens were involved I think. I'm 36 btw - surely too old to spend my working day researching which space ship to buy next on a computer game...
There were sequels; Frontier; Elite 2 and Frontier; First Encounters (where you got to help the Thargons, and they gave you a nice ship in return).
