Great find. I have the Monkey Islands two (both were redone), it also includes the old blocky version to, and you can lose the new voiceover soundtrack if you want too. Yarr! Grog! My worry here is that Disney now owns it via the LucasFilm purchase. I just hope they forget and leave it as a small piece of joy not to be revisited.

Moreover, just watched the Damocles video for the gazillionth time and noticed for the first time that when it fires at the Imperial capital ships the guns it uses glow red from the heat, then cool again. I must be blind. Nice touch though given the importance heat will have in this game.

"I make no apology for including a game that’s still in development. Though experience tells us that high levels of expectation are often mashed into a stinky paste of disappointment, this is Elite we’re talking about. This is the unsurpassed, open world space exploration game that made it compulsory to own a home computer in the 1980s.

It did 3D space flight simulation, trading, combat and near-infinite world exploration - all in 49 KB . It was GTA III a full 17 years before GTA III. In space.

After many years of muttering, grumbling and licensing spats between the game’s original authors, Elite is coming back on the PC. Crowd Funded on Kickstarter, Elite: Dangerous is set for release on March 2014.

Marketed as a sequel, initial video peeks depict a 21st century version of Elite. The attention to detail and real world physics that made the original such a compulsive playing experience are now enhanced by a graphical realism undreamt of in 1984. If you really can’t wait, you can join the alpha program and start playing now. It’ll only cost you £200..."

Quite a right-up to be sure.
