I was playing original Spectrum 48k version of Elite and after finishing the last mission (“Thargon invasion”) and destroying the Coriolis station near planet Rive I returned to previous system. After docking I got this message:
First I thought it was a joke of some cracker, who removed the LensLock protection, so I used another version (with protection still active - from the World of Spectrum website) and loaded my last save. Finished the mission again, and…
Just for the reference, in “Joystick Club” release my name was Ab-Ab
My question is: I love the reference, but wasn’t it a little against IP of StarTrek?
On YouTube I found video where the reference was missing. Maybe it was from 128k version, unfortunately, I was not able to load my save into 128k version (got tape loading error).
I would love to know the background story to this…
