well Ian Bell has repeatedly mentioned that the definitive version of Elite was the BBC Model B version. And yeah Ive seen the c64 version, it was dreadful.

Commander Jameson checking in, on C64 and Amiga.
And like some other pilot around here, I do remember when the ship was double piloted by me and my brother who took turns at joystick and keyboard.
I spent so much time learning to dock, spent days before I could manage a dock on Lave station, that was an achievement in itself. And each time I had to manually dock it was a risk. Manual docking would be so cool... 
Do you guys remember when you were sold the tribbles on C64 version? |

Started with Elite on C64, then Elite Plus, Frontier and FF3 on Amiga. Each of those has eaten months/years from my life 
By the way, they just recently released new docking video for Elite: Dangerous. I'm so excited about this as it brings back lots of memories... just missing the Blue Danube music.

C-64. ***** please!
I first played it on my mate's Acorn Electron. Then Santa gave me a Spectrum 48k. I then got an Acorn Archimedes where Elite had shaded sides! Then a dos based PC where I played Frontier. I still have that box set.

Then Wing Commander came, I found my old box this christmas. I'm thinking of getting the ship blueprint posters framed.
Then Conflict Freespace, great game.
Then several years outdoors enjoying sex, drugs and loud music until my renal system failed.
....and back indoors where I came across Eve.
I've never been sure weather I can class myself as a 'gamer'. I've only really ever been interested in space combat sims and a few strategy games. I've never really played consoles. Eve provides all the things I need from a game. We'll see how well Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous do in the MMO era. They're both talking big. I hope it's all they want it to be.

And you haven't played Elite often enough if the docking computer didn't smear you over the station at least once.

I had Elite on C64 and Frontier on Amiga, and i still think Elite was better than EVE when take the age, graphic and techonolgy aside. EVE lack Logic and physics, Elite had it. When u ***** about the lack of Logic and physics on EVE, u get ur head bashed in bcuz it either too difficult to incorporate it, hardvare wont handle it, or it would upset the hardcore EVE players which would ragequit and lobotomice them selves.
So Elite wins by a mile. |

So very true. After a while you learned to activate the docking comcputer only in "safe" positions. |

Oh how fun it was in the early '90s to see the Amiga owners laughs turn into frowns when PCs started outdoing them on the video front, and how ST owners despaired as they no longer held MIDI supremacy.

The 520STFM was my first computer although I don't recall if I played Elite on that, I probably did, I remember hanging on the the printed manual for years. I never liked the manual docking though, and didn't like it in X2 either. Though I did get used to it in X2 mainly due to X2 being the first game that impressed me with the graphics, X3 Reunion even more. |

Granted, the Commodore 64 was a tad before my time (was more an Amiga 500 guy!), but I did play Elite on a friend's computer. Incredible how far graphics/gaming has come, but I think the similarities between EVE Online and Elite are pretty darned obvious! A massive galaxy to explore, a rich economy with a heavy emphasis on inter-planetary trade, shooting stuff in space, large space stations etc.... It was all in Elite, many, many years ago. I liked Elite, and I like EVE. I will say, though, that I really enjoyed docking in Elite - really wish I had to manually dock in EVE! Anyone else ever play Elite? If you did, this video will bring back memories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy3Di3uu5yA

I loved it.
Started out with an ascii Star Trek game on the TRS80 Model III in my dads work, which I got to play with on the weekends (was all of about 5 or 6 then), then I got a c64 and played Elite to death, then an Amiga 500, then a 286 and PC's from then on.
The thing I remember most about Elite was dying endlessly for days while docking trying to save up for a docking computer, and then being so happy when I bought one, and then dying periodically again while docking, but this time to the strains of the Blue Danube. The docking computer still managed to kill me at times, it was so annoying.

Oh well they were the days.
