Dangerous times ahead for Elite?

11/6/2012

I have written about Elite, the computer game, before...

​...so I was delighted to read this piece of news on the BBC today. It is quite possible that Elite will get a ‘Dangerous’ new makeover and once again be available for purchase and enjoyment. I wish David Braban and Frontier every success in the search for funding via Kickstarter.

If a new version does become available, I’ll buy a copy, and maybe even a new gaming console, in order to play it and introduce my son to the game.

Somewhere I have original PC copies of Elite Plus, Frontier and First Encounters but God only knows if these will still function on today’s hardware – probably not but if any reader knows better, please let me know.

I can only think that there are some other fans of the old game at the BBC, or David Braban has some good connections for this to have made the news. Still the story was a welcome departure from the US election coverage that is boring me to death at the moment.
