please post here if you come here from Elite game. I sure am, and love the storms. Just wish that thargoids were as agressive as in elite :)

oh, post the machine that you've played Elite on first and version.

ZX Spectrum 128k (Pentagon). Elite (original) and Elite II/III by Kladov.

ps I want Police bots to come out of station when you shoot it :)

Elite Plus, PCjr.

I first played elite on the BBC micro, i thought it was errrrm, a game, then i got my spectrum zx 48k awww sweet, big hot expansion pack sticking outta the back....lol (80's what can you say??...lol) i played 48k speccy version for years, was like a cult for me elite, when i found Vendetta over 2 years ago,.... omg, was like OMG SWEET....lol

[Edit] The errrm younger of you can check out elite at http://www.spectrum.lovely.net/ ;) in all its spectrum glory ;)

I played the elite games on my Amiga...

: )

commodore64, but did most of my elite work on the pc with first encounters.

Me too - on a BBC Master :) Excellent game only topped by Privateer II

I loved my amiga 1000 (the original commodore verizon, before the 500 came out). That an my huge external 80meg hard drive.

Been playing Elite since it first came out on my trusty BBC Micro, then followed it through many incarntions to Frontier First Encounters.

There are so many little things that would translate perfectly into the Vendetta universe aswell. Cargo Scoop ship upgrades for collecting cargo, warp field analzers for following people trying to escape :).

Oh yeah an Elite 4 was announced as being in production by David Braben a couple of months back :)

I played Elite Plus, if I remember right... I want to say it was on my Tandy 1000. Memory's starting to get kinda fuzzy, though, that far back. I loved trading. Still do.

played Elite on a commodore 64 then went to a Amiga , upgraded the memory module under the computer then played Frontier

Elite on c64 and the followups on pc

BBC model B. Also on the electron and Elite Plus on the PC.

I remember actually having dreams about Elite :).

I made this name up for my first Elite Character.

I remember some (early?) versions of Elite came with a short story. I can't remember who wrote it, but it was quite a well known science fiction author (Heinlein maybe?). Does anybody remember what it was called or who wrote it?

EDIT: Found it! It was Robert Holdstock ... knew it was a Robert :). It's available here http://www.eliteppc.com/novella.htm

Ahhhh Elite, i remember it well.
First played on a BBC B ( a friends dad had one - WOW a computer )
Then on a C64 that i got for Christmas (PLEASE mum and dad )
Amiga version came next ( trusty old A1200 that got turned into a mad tower with a CD Rom and 603ppc / 68060 card )
Now available as Oolite for the Mac ( dont forget you cant buy / change ships. This is Elite were talking about )

Actually in Elite by Kladov you could buy MK4 and get cloaking devices and other stuff. It was very advanced version. Looked exactly the same, bar few new additions. They were rare, so when you got them you went like WOW, what's going on, that's not supposed to happen. Like sometimes thargoids that catch you in between hyperjumps would disappear using that cloaking device. Or sometimes after you arrive into a system a couple of vipers would fly with you in formation and protect you from pirates if your status was clean. of course they would not be happy if you started shooting at them.

or locking the station for pirates. when you status was clean you could go back to it, but vipers would kill you on sight until you dropped your piracy level.

i could go on or you could try it in spectrum emulator ;)

Ah, the good old times...
nothing like booting Elite from the audio cassette it came on for the Schneider CPC 464.

I look for a game like Elite since too many years ago, of course with improved grafics and so, and of course Online.
I am here just for that reason, this is my first post and this night my first try of this game....¿is my search close to the end?, i hope it is, and i hope i can be useful as beta tester, finding bugs too.
I played Elite with Spectrum 48k (¿20 years ago more or less?...my god...a long search), the best game ever for Spectrum, thousen of hours playing it.

I hope to find a lot of PvP, and just something of PvE..

I played Elite frontier on the Amiga CD32, many years ago :P

Everytime I hear "The Blue Danube" or "The Charge of the Valkyries" I wish I was back there glued to the screen.

who wants to be part of our ELITE guild?
