Ok, so lots of threads about where you first played Elite etc etc
This may belong in off-topic, mods feel free to move.
Not sure I have seen one about the game that turned your head. The one that took your attention with a flutter of eyelashes and a twinkle in their eye.
It never lasted of course but the obsession had moved on.
In my case I had an Electron and it was Repton 3 . A completely different game but one that with a level designer and sprite editor.
I could create my own themes and levels and I loved that. In those days it was pretty rare.
Elite didn't offer me any creative possibility in the game and despite shooting down thousands of pirates, never quite made it to Elite.
A while ago I found some of my old cassettes. Some are not in great shape. Of the ones I have digitized so far, the Repton levels are there but no Elite saves...
I moved house since but hope to track them down again. Determined to know how close I got.
