In 1985, when I was still 13, my dad bought me Elite on my C64. It was a game I did not want but he got it just the same. I ignored it for the first month because I had many games to play on my new computer. Then I decided to give Elite a shot and tried it and kept playing it for a very very long time. I distinctly remember running up to my dad shouting 'I docked, I docked' when I managed to do so for the first time. It was in Zaonce. Roll the clock forward by 30 years and I requipped a Cobra Mk3 which I fondly named Dad's Gift. Flying a Cobra again was a huge memory in itself, but it was nothing compared to seeing my 79 year old dad using my Occulus Rift and taking the co-pilots seat (using my alt account) in the Cobra while I took him on a tour around Sol, flying around canyons, etc. He kept kept astonishing hinself and reminding me that once I did not want this game. This is what Elite is to me. Thank you Mr. Braben for making a little boy happy by giving us ED, something even better than the Elite 4 I waited so long for.
