For those of us who are old enough to have owned a BBC Micro 32k and played this amazing game on it,

Happy Birthday Elite!

One of them games that hasn't been equalled yet, all the other space type games just seem to lack something.

While I loved Elite, I much preferred the action of the Wing Commander series!

OH WHY HAVE SPACE FLIGHT SIMS DIED OUT?????????

Still waiting on this:

Was supposed to be out this Summer, but they pushed it back after testers complained it just wasn't fun enough!
