Hi, Ah, man! Don't tempt me. I loved Elite and Frontier Elite. If we keep talking about those classics you'll end up talking me into starting such a project. Lol!
However, I too would like to see an accessible game along those lines. With memory and disk space relatively inexpensive on todays machines it is quite possible to create something even more spectacular than those classics. So it would totally rock if something actually came of this. Cheers! On 11/20/11, darren harris <darren_g_har...@btinternet.com> wrote: > Oh yeah dark, I loved elite.
