I know there has been quite the talk about an Elite 4 and I know a lot of people including me would love to see one. Hopefully in a few years we will and like the other poster said “infinity = Elite 4″ that might be very true. With a lot of space themed games coming out the genre is getting another boost if the demand is there Elite 4 will get made. :)

Have fun with FFED3D everyone and do stop by SSC and chat about all your favorites space games.

Me too! Found my instruction book and novella for my Amstrad 64 version. Awesome.

I remember being intrigued by Elite when I had my CPC464 – but never managed to get it. I feel like I have missed out on a singularly formative experience (read: RPS denizens will make fun of me, maybe something about my lack of masculinity or my being a Peggle-playing big girls' blouse – which I probably am).
Interestingly enough, BBC World had a short blurb about it last night. Nice.

Remember where you heard it first. ;-D

Proof that a game can be more than the sum of its pixels.

I have no regrets.

I first got Elite for my Acorn Electron ( Parents with dillusions of me becoming somehow clever and becoming a programmer ) with my best mate Adrian. We were 10 at the time, and went half on it.

What. a. Game.

I must have put thousands of hours playing the game over Electron/Amiga/PC down the years. I became Elite and it ranked as being one of my most highest ever acheivements in life ( easy when you don’t have any goals in life other than to have enough money at the end of the month to keep you in gaming goodies ).

I really hope that Elite IV, if made, David Braben just remakes Elite for MMO with up to date graphics and forgot the Newtonian bullshit that made the sequels utter shite.He would sell millions.
